TY - CONF A1 - Darvishi Kamachali, Reza T1 - Interfacial Spinodals N2 - Despite their finite spatial extent, interfaces can have profound impacts on microstructure properties. This is because of their distinct phase-like properties distinguishing them from the adjacent homogeneous bulk structure. When noticed by solute atoms, interfaces can experience their own chemical phase changes. In this talk, we investigate the constrained states of chemically decomposed phases at interfaces. A density-based theory of interfaces is proposed to describe the confined chemical decomposition at general grain boundaries. Here the grain boundary is viewed as a lesser dense, defected structure with reference to the corresponding bulk structure. Using this picture, the thermodynamic origins of interfacial spinodal phenomena are revealed. We also show that transient interfacial spinodals can be activated over a large alloy composition range, enabling kinetic engineering of interfacial chemistry.

Insights into a controlled decomposition of initially homogeneous HEAs are therefore essential. In this study, we combine the recently developed multi-component elastic energy theory with CALPHAD databases to study potentially magnetic FeMnNiCoCu alloy system. In a first approximation, the elastic energy is added to the Gibbs free energy to reconstruct the thermodynamic phase diagrams and consequent phase decompositions. Our results show that depending on the alloy composition and the temperature, Cu-rich and FeCo-rich phases emerge, which lead to the formation of distinct magnetic phases of different extents. The spatial redistribution of elements is studied through Fourier analysis, auto-, and cross-correlation, revealing the contribution of the thermodynamic, kinetic and elastic driving forces throughout this process. These dissembled analysis methods contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of multi-component alloys and the role of elastic energy in their phase decomposition.
