Recherche

Orientation relationship & film microstructure: The orientation relationship of fcc crystals on crystalline substrates is shown to strongly depend on the atomic steps present on the substrate plane. Our studies merge EBSD and HRTEM experiments, atomistic calculations and the theory of phase transformation. Based on our results, reverse engineering allow to monitor the microstructure of fcc films on substrates of selected orientation and chemistry. The film microstructures which are obtained span from single-crystal to poly-crystal containing specific populations of grain boundaries.

Complexions at interfaces in multinary alloys: Modeling of surfaces and interfaces (grain boundaries) of complex concentrated multinary alloys has been developped using atomistic and thermodynamic approaches. The complexions (chemistry and structure) of these interfaces deviate from those found in classical (diluted) alloys. They are analyzed with respect to the outstanding properties of these new alloys due to surfaces or interfaces.
