Free Energy of Cu/Ag Heterophase Interfaces — •Marvin Poul, Sebastian Eich, and Guido Schmitz — Universität Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Deutschland

The properties of nanocrystalline materials are influenced by the thermodynamics of their interfaces. In particular we are interested in incoherent heterophase interfaces. Using the Frenkel-Ladd[1] method and the framework of interface thermodynamics developed by Frolov and Mishin[2], we present a Monte Carlo method to compute the free interface energy of incoherent Cu/Ag interfaces. All calculations are performed with the thermodynamically accurate Embed-Atom method potential developed by Williams et al.[3], which is known to reproduce the energies of planar defects very well. In general the procedure should be applicable to arbitrary incoherent interfaces.
