Role of disordered bipolar complexions on the sulfur embrittlement of nickel general grain boundaries

Sulfur at nickel grain boundaries can cause catastrophic failure, but the mechanisms behind that embrittlement remain poorly understood. Here, the authors image and model bipolar sulfur–nickel structures at amorphous-like and bilayer-like facets of general grain boundaries that cause embrittlement....
