Modern approaches to segregation modeling are based on employing atomistic grain boundary segregation spectra. Currently, there is no spectral model that accounts for solute–solute interactions beyond the random mixing approximation. The paper shows that such interactions are crucial for the Ag(Ni) system, which is the focus of this study. We derive the Gibbs free energy for a spectral model of grain boundary segregation that properly captures solute–solute interactions strong enough to violate the random mixing assumption. Strong attractive interactions have been shown to be independent of solute concentration and can be directly incorporated into the segregation spectrum. Moreover, at zero temperature, all types of solute–solute interactions can be incorporated into the segregation spectrum, allowing the calculation of zero-temperature stability scores with regard to solute–solute interactions. This may enhance the reliability of screening for stable nanocrystalline alloys. Finally, the model incorporating solute–solute interactions into the segregation spectrum has been shown to provide a reliable approximation for systems exhibiting strong solute–solute interactions, even at moderate temperatures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":238,"journal":{"name":"Acta Materialia","volume":"294 ","pages":"Article 121044"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is practiced even in a ternary system for the systematic generation of composition-dependent diffusion coefficients, which is otherwise impossible following conventional methods. However, the analysis for the deviations from an “ideal pseudo-binary diffusion profile” is not standardized yet, leading to confusion in the acceptability of the estimated diffusion coefficients. This study explains the logic behind establishing an augmented Darken and Darken-Manning equation schemes suitable for pseudo-binary diffusion profiles considering experimentally produced diffusion profiles and extracted activity profiles of elements. The correct estimation method is demonstrated by producing pseudo-binary profiles up to a six-element system for the first time, depending on the ideal or non-ideal nature of the diffusion profiles. A re-adjustment factor (RAF) concept is introduced, reflecting on the effect of the non-ideality range on estimated diffusion coefficients. This is demonstrated based on several diffusion couple experiments in multiple systems of technological importance that produce different ranges of ideal, near-ideal, minor, and major non-ideal pseudo-binary diffusion profiles. RAF values provide an ultimate guideline for pseudo-binary diffusion analysis in multicomponent systems depending on the extent of non-ideality and composition range of the main diffusing elements. Additionally, the importance of estimating the tracer and intrinsic diffusion coefficients instead of only interdiffusion coefficients (reported mostly) is substantiated by estimating all types of diffusion coefficients when relevant.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":238,"journal":{"name":"Acta Materialia","volume":"294 ","pages":"Article 121127"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143933323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
