What are the Challenges Associated with Grain Boundaries in Nanotechnology?
- Characterization: High-resolution techniques are required to accurately characterize grain boundaries at the nanoscale, which can be expensive and time-consuming. - Stability: Grain boundaries may migrate or evolve under different conditions, affecting the long-term stability of nanomaterials. - Scalability: Techniques for grain boundary engineering at the nanoscale need to be scalable for industrial applications, which is often challenging.
