Effects of Zn and Mg Segregations on the Grain Boundary Sliding and Cohesion in Al: Ab Initio Modeling

The formation of Zn and Mg segregations at a tilt Σ5{013} <100> grain boundary (GB) in Al and the effects of these solutes on deformation behavior of polycrystalline Al were investigated using ab initio total energy calculations. Using a step-by-step modeling of the segregation process, we fou...
