The effects of dopants and complexions on grain boundary diffusion and fracture toughness in α-Al2O3 (2017-04-21)Grain boundaries often play a dominant role in determining material properties and processing, which originates from their distinct local structures, chemistry, and properties. Understanding and controlling grain boundary ...
