Abnormal grain growth mediated by fractal boundary migration at the nanoscale

Abstract Modern engineered materials are composed of space-filling grains or domains separated by a network of interfaces or boundaries. Such polycrystalline microstructures have the capacity to coarsen through boundary migration. Grain growth theories account for the topology of grains and the conn...
