“…Δ G is the effective free energy difference incorporating solute trapping and relaxation effects. For binary alloys, Δ G is given as where Δ μ 1 and Δ μ 2 are the chemical potentials of solvent and solute at SL interface, respectively. The thickness of diffusive SL interface is much smaller than the size of CA lattice, therefore, is assumed to be approximately equal to the concentration of interface lattice here, and .…”
