The grain boundary (GB) wetting was investigated in the Sn – 25 at.% In alloy. It was found that the portion of GBs wetted by the melt depends on the annealing temperature. No GB completely wetted by melt was observed at 140°C, while all GBs were fully wetted after annealing at 180°C. Between 140°C and 180°C the portion of wetted GBs increases with increasing temperature. The tie-lines of GB wetting phase transition were constructed in the Sn–In bulk phase diagram.

Patterned substrates are good candidates to enhance the arrangement of nanodomains in block copolymer thin films. Here, I theoretically demonstrate the possibility to self-assemble block copolymers on top of physically or chemically patterned substrates. The presence of substrate pattern not only enhances the alignment of polymers, but also induces novel new morphologies which were not present in the bulk phase diagram.

In this review, the phenomenon of grain boundary (GB) wetting by melt is analyzed for multicomponent alloys without principal components (also called high-entropy alloys or HEAs) containing titanium. GB wetting can be complete or partial. In the former case, the liquid phase forms the continuous layers between solid grains and completely separates them. In the latter case of partial GB wetting, the melt forms the chain of droplets in GBs, with certain non-zero contact angles. The GB wetting phenomenon can be observed in HEAs produced by all solidification-based technologies. GB leads to the appearance of novel GB tie lines Twmin and Twmax in the multicomponent HEA phase diagrams. The so-called grain-boundary engineering of HEAs permits the use of GB wetting to improve the HEAs’ properties or, alternatively, its exclusion if the GB layers of a second phase are detrimental.
