A three-dimensional polyhedral unit model for grain boundary structure in fcc metals
Polyhedral structures: Building blocks for metallic interfaces US researchers have designed a model to aid understanding of how crystals pack in metals such as aluminum and copper. Most metals form as polycrystalline microstructures, i.e., they are composed of small crystals of varying size and orie...
