Anotace
The goal of the proposed research is to advance our fundamental understanding of structure, magnetism and embrittlement of impurity-segregated grain boundaries (GB) in ferromagnetic Fe, Co and Ni. Central topic of the proposed research is to determine the preferred segregation sites of 12 sp-elements from the 13th-16th group and the 3rd, 4th and 5th period (Al, Si, P, S, Ga, Ge, As, Se, In, Sn, Sb and Te) at the impurity- decorated GBs, their segregation enthalpies and strengthening/embrittling energies with their decomposition into the chemical and mechanical components. Also, at the impurity-decorated GBs and surfaces we will look for magnetically dead layers which are important in materials for spintronics. It may be expected that the results will be important for development of new generation of nickel-based superalloys.
