Mixed control of boundary migration and the principle of microstructural evolution

抄録

This paper describes a new mechanism for boundary migration, namely the mixed control mechanism (either diffusion or interface reaction), and the principle of microstructural evolution in polycrystals. The basis of the mechanism and the microstructural prediction of the principle are explained, including key experimental results that support the mechanism and the principle. The solid state single crystal growth method, a new technique of single crystal fabrication, is described as an application example of the microstructural evolution principle. Future research directions in the subject areas are also given.
