Grain boundaries provide fast diffusion pathways for atoms and ions due to their disordered structure and high density of defects. Enhanced diffusion along grain boundaries can lead to accelerated ...

Lateral misalignment of crystal planes would also be expected to produce ‘lack of fit’ at the grain boundaries, but this effect is most probably smoothed out by the imperfections in the ...

However, the serious cation mixing of Ni 2+ and Li + in LNO cathode leads to the transformation of the material structure ...

The formation of ferrite and iron carbide will start at the austenite grain boundaries and the final pearlite microstructure ... The lower diagram illustrates the phase transition process and ...
