Liu, F.F.Liu2018-11-072018-11-072005https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/51993Isothermal grain growth kinetics of nanocrystalline Fe-Ag single-phase thin film, prepared by pulsed laser deposition, was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Using an empirical relation assuming that Gb reduces with solute segregation, grain growth stops with saturated grain boundaries, corresponding to a metastable equilibrium system. It was found that higher Ag concentration gives smaller grain size at the metastable equilibrium, but favours phase separation upon annealing.
