Energy and Structure of Interphase Interfaces

本研究的目的是从实验和理论上探索界面的稳定性。了解这种界面的结构是将所需的界面属性设计成先进材料的第一步。利用薄膜在低温退火过程中的微晶旋转实验，确定了不同金属间晶界和界面的尖点取向。用嵌入原子方法计算了界面的能量值，并与实验结果进行了比较。

The research objective is to explore experimentally and theoretically the stability of interphase boundaries. Understanding the structure of such interfaces is a first step in designing desired interface properties into advanced materials. Experiments involving small crystallite rotations on thin films during low temperature annealing are used to determine the cusp orientations of grain boundaries and interfaces between dissimilar metals. Energy values of the interfaces are calculated using the Embedded Atom Method and compared with the experimental results.
