Toward Knowledge-Based Grain-Boundary Engineering of Transparent Alumina Combining Advanced TEM and Atomistic Modeling

Cécile Hébert, Paul Bowen, Marco Cantoni, Farhang Nabiei, Michael Stuer, Abhishek Tewari

Transition element dopants (e.g., Y, La) are commonly used as sintering aids in polycrystalline alumina ceramics, which segregate to the grain boundaries and control the grain-boundary mobility. However, due to the extremely thin (
