Grains boundaries form as nanoporous metals coarsen

Abstract

Nanoporous metals are prototypical bicontinuous microstructures that frequently undergo coarsening when annealed at elevated emperatures. The mechanical strength is highly dependent on the crystalline structure. X-ray Laue micro diffraction is used to identify that an in-grain orientation spread develops during coarsening in nanoporous gold, leading to the formation of a structure.
