Functional Nanostructured Materials – Microstructure, Thermodynamic Stability and Atomic Mobility

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter deals with functional nanostructured materials. New routes for nanostructure formation are presented by sequentially combining different non-equilibrium processing pathways that based, example, on rapid cooling or continuous strain energy input. There several aspects concerning the thermodynamic stability and interface diffusion of nonstrustured materials drastically affected presence atomic structure heterophase interfaces as well selection synthesis pathways. The modification phase stabilities diagrams seemingly inherent high-mobility is described in chapter. observed behavior, such a shift melting temperature either to higher lower depending solely diffusivities orders magnitude than usual (again apparently simply atomic-scale interface), highlights future potential newly available range opportunities property uniquely offered class nanocrystalline
