Abstract
The polycrystalline grain microstructure of metallic thin films coarsens during grain growth in a unique way when the initial grain structure contains multiple grains in the film thickness. A regime with fast coarsening is followed by a regime of slow coarsening. At the same time, the grain structure itself undergoes clear structural changes from a bulk-like to a bamboo-like structure. The overall coarsening process evolves continuously, whereas the growth paths of individual grains do not follow the ones observed and predicted in either two- or three-dimensional grain growth.
期刊介绍:
Serving the multidisciplinary materials community, the journal aims to publish new research work that advances the understanding and prediction of material behaviour at scales from atomistic to macroscopic through modelling and simulation.
Subject coverage:
Modelling and/or simulation across materials science that emphasizes fundamental materials issues advancing the understanding and prediction of material behaviour. Interdisciplinary research that tackles challenging and complex materials problems where the governing phenomena may span different scales of materials behaviour, with an emphasis on the development of quantitative approaches to explain and predict experimental observations. Material processing that advances the fundamental materials science and engineering underpinning the connection between processing and properties. Covering all classes of materials, and mechanical, microstructural, electronic, chemical, biological, and optical properties.
