Abstract

Abstract:

Multi-phase field (MPF) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been applied to study the mechanisms of nanograin growth. At mesoscale level, prominent properties of nanostructured materials, e.g. the grain boundary excess volumes and vacancy diffusion, are considered in MPF. The atomistic aspects of boundary movement and vacancy generation during the growth have been investigated using MD simulations. Combining MPF and MD, transition from linear regime to normal grain growth and the activation energy of the growth process is investigated.
