Atomistic weak interaction criterion for the specificity of liquid metal embrittlement

Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) occurs in some solid–liquid metal elements’ couples (e.g., Fe-Zn and Al-Ga), called specificity. Although some material parameters like solubility and bonding energy were suggested as controlling factors, none could be attributed satisfactorily. Here we have unveiled...
