Ab Initio Modeling of Thermal Barrier Coatings: Effects of Dopants and Impurities on Interface Adhesion, Diffusion and Grain Boundary Strength
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of additives, reactive elements and impurities, on the lifetime of thermal barrier coatings. The thesis consists of a number of studies on interface adhesion, impurity diffusion, grain boundary sliding and cleavage processes and their impact on th...
