Abstract [en]

Gold (Au) segregation at Pt grain boundaries (GBs) plays an important role in the properties of Pt-based alloys. It was reported that close-packed GBs and open GBs exhibit different segregation behaviors, and their origin is still unclear. Based on the density functional theory as implemented in the exact muffin-tin orbitals method and the full charge density technique, we investigate the impact of bulk composition and temperature on the segregation behaviors of the Σ 3 ( 111 ) [ 1 1 ¯ 0 ] , Σ5(310)[001], and Σ 9 ( 221 ) [ 1 1 ¯ 0 ] symmetric tilt GBs in Pt-Au alloys. It is revealed that the segregation driving forces are correlated with the large local volume near the GB and the miscibility gap in Pt-Au alloys. At finite temperatures when the configurational entropy is considered, a competition between the chemical driving force and the configurational entropy is responsible for the segregation anisotropy in Pt-Au alloys. The bulk composition has a small effect on the segregation energy but strongly impacts the equilibrium concentration profiles at finite temperatures. The present study provides a theoretical analysis for the segregation anisotropy, and the methodology utilized in this work can be generalized to other binary or multi-component dilute or concentrated alloys while the composition variation is involved.
