    Abstract Impurity segregation at grain boundaries (GBs) often induces structural transformations at the atomic level and significantly influences materials’ properties, underscoring the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms of GB segregation at the atomic scale. Here, the atomic structure of a Y‐segregated ∑13(104)/[20] GB is thoroughly studied in α‐Al 2 O 3 via scanning transmission electron microscopy and Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations based on a neural network potential. It is found that the Y segregation at the GB involves not only the simple substitution of Y for Al atoms but also a structural adaptation with a change in GB atomic density. Such a change alters the local bonding environment at the GB so that the absolute excess volume is minimized for the lowest‐energy structure. This study offers a new insight into the atomic‐scale mechanism of GB structural transformation.

    The emergence of global phase coherence due to the proximity effect in heterogeneous and disordered superconductor systems has been an issue of long-standing interest. Recently, we have reported that a highly disordered fractal MgO/MgB2 nanocomposite exhibits bulk-like superconducting properties with isotropic pinning, showing an excellent phase-coherent capability irrespective of the low volume fraction (∼30 vol. %) of MgB2 [Uchino et al., Phys. Rev. B 101, 035146 (2020); Teramachi et al., Phys. Rev. B 108, 155146 (2023)]. In this work, we show from 3D focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy data that in the nanocomposite, a complex MgO/MgB2 microstructure spreads isotropically throughout the sample with a constant fractal dimension of ∼1.67. Atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy has revealed that the interfaces are atomically clean and free from amorphous grain boundaries. Detailed ac susceptibility measurements have demonstrated a smooth crossover from an intragranular to an intergranular superconducting regime. Also, spatially resolved cathodoluminescence measurements have demonstrated that oxygen vacancies in the MgO-rich phase tend to aggregate near the MgO/MgB2 boundary regions, forming long channels of oxygen vacancies through the nanocomposite. These channels of oxygen vacancies are likely to be responsible for the long-range carrier transfer and the related proximity effect via the coherent tunneling of charge carriers among the oxygen vacancy sites. Our results imply that the fractal-like MgO/MgB2 microstructure with atomically clean interfaces will induce the phase-coherent transport of charge carriers in the MgO-rich regions, leading to the observed long-range proximity effect and the resulting bulk-like superconductivity in this highly disordered system.

    セラミック材料における脆性破壊は実用上大きな問題となっており、特に多結晶体の結晶粒界に沿って亀裂が伝播することで破壊に至る粒界破壊は、材料の力学的信頼性に直結する重要な研究課題である。本研究では、透過電子顕微鏡(TEM)内で試料に応力を印加し、粒界が破壊する過程をナノスケール・原子スケールでその場観察することで、粒界破壊のメカニズムを明らかとし、粒界原子構造が粒界強度に与える影響について原子論的起源を探求した。 モデル材料には粒界破壊挙動を示す代表的な構造用セラミックスであるアルミナ(α-Al2O3)を用い、双結晶試料に対してTEMナノインデンテーション法用いて粒界直上に局所応力を印加したところ、粒界に沿って数百ナノメートル程度のき裂が導入されることを確認した。導入したき裂の清浄破面をSTEMにより原子分解能観察を行い、得られた破面の原子構造と破壊前の粒界原子構造を比較することで、原子スケールにおけるき裂進展パスを決定したところ、粒界の中心に位置する酸素レイヤーを伝って亀裂が伝播することが明らかとなった。 さらに、破面が電気的中性条件を満たすような種々の破壊パスに関して、へき開エネルギーを第一原理計算を用いて系統的に評価したところ、実験的に決定された破壊パスが最も安定であることが確認された。また、粒界破壊を引き起こした粒界原子構造を解明するため、亀裂進展パスの周囲の原子構造および結合を粒内と詳細に比較すると、粒界コアにおいてAl-O間の結合が粒内よりも減少していることが明らかとなった。従って、粒界コアにおける結合数の減少が粒界破壊を誘起していることが示唆された。

    In this study, we studied the interface functional cores which are the origins of many material properties, and explored new methodologies for interface functional core characterizations. Specifically, we advanced the state-of-the-art atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques for developing new methods for observing local electromagnetic fields, three-dimensional atomic structures and dynamics of interface functional cores. As a result, we succeeded in observing the local electromagnetic fields and the three-dimensional atomic structures of various interface functional cores, which help us to elucidate the correlation between material interface structures and their functions. Furthermore, through collaborative research with other research groups, we successfully established a new research field in materials science based on crystal defect functional cores.

    結晶粒界と転位の相互作用は機械特性を決定づける重要な現象である一方、微視的かつ動的な現象を直接捉えることが困難なために実験的知見が不足しており、その相互作用メカニズムに関しては未解明な点が多い。また粒界は隣接結晶粒の相対方位関係や粒界面方位に依存して様々な構造を形成し、それぞれの粒界が異なる粒界性格を有しているため、個々の粒界と転位の相互作用メカニズムに関する知見が望まれている。そこで本研究ではモデル材料にチタン酸ストロンチウムを使用し、双結晶法によって作製された単一粒界に対して透過電子顕微鏡内で試料に局所的な応力を印加することが可能なTEMナノインデンテーション法を応用することで、粒界存在下における転位の微視的挙動の直接観察を行い、個々の粒界と転位の相互作用メカニズムを解明することを目的とした。モデル粒界には[010]方向を回転軸とする回転角1°の小傾角粒界及び回転角36.9°のΣ5大傾角粒界、[110]を回転軸とする回転角109.5°のΣ3大傾角粒界を用いた。TEMナノインデンテーション実験では粒界付近にインデンターチップを挿入し、導入される転位と粒界の相互作用をその場観察した。TEMナノインデンテーション実験の結果、バースベクトル[110]を有する格子転位が導入され、それぞれの粒界の相互作用する様子を直接観察することに成功した。小傾角粒界及びΣ3粒界では粒界を跨いで格子転位が伝播する様子が観察された。一方Σ5粒界においては格子転位は粒界面上に堆積し、粒界が転位の伝播を大きく阻害していた。この結果より転位の伝播の可否は粒界の相対方位差の大小ではなく、伝播に際して形成される粒界残留転位の形成エネルギーが大きく影響していることが示唆された。これは個々の粒界の存在が変形中の転位挙動に対して与える影響を考える上で重要な実験的知見である。
