摘要
We investigate elastic energy-driven grain boundary migration in a strained copper bicrystal using an atomistically informed phase field model. In a bicrystal experiencing a uniform strain, the softer grain has a lower energy density and grows at the expense of the harder grain. In a bicrystal experiencing heterogeneous strain, the softer grain has a higher energy density, yet it still grows. Our findings suggest that the softer grain will grow, irrespective of the difference in the energy densities. Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.
