Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The aim of this project is to investigate correlations between surface segregation and surface roughening in a range of fcc metals where it has been suggested that both these effects can be linked to crystallographic orientation of grains in the substrate.A combination of in situ hot stage high spatial resolution scanning Auger microscopy and hot stage FEG SEM imaging and orientation analysis with an electron backscattering detector will be used to investigate the effect. Ultimately, we wish to determine whether suitable texturing of a substrate can be used to maintain smooth surfaces with limited impurity segregation at elevated temperatures.
