H. Li et al., MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION OF TEXTURE AND MICROSTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN NANOCRYSTALLINE ELECTRODEPOSITS, Nanostructured materials, 9(1-8), 1997, pp. 673-676
A computer model has been proposed to describe the development of text
ure and microstructure in nanocrystalline electrodeposits of Ni-20%Fe.
The main driving force for this process is the minimization of free e
nergy of the system. are results obtained from the simulation show tha
t the texture and microstructure are strongly influenced by the crysta
llographically anisotropic surface energy and nucleation rate.
