Abstract

In nanostructured solids (crystallite size ca. 10 nm) the physical properties are strongly modified by the disordered structure of the interfaces. A combination of microscopic and macroscopic studies is therefore of pivotal interest.

In this paper a review is given on studying the atomic structure of interfaces in nanocrystalline solids by nuclear probes such as positrons and muons. Highly compressible free volumes of the size of interfacial vacancies and of nanovoids in the triple junctions are detected as structural elements of the elastically soft interfaces which exhibit a width of the structural and the magnetic perturbations of 3 to 4 atoms. The interfacial structure substantially relaxes prior to crystallite growth.

As examples for macroscopic studies He desorption and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline metals are discussed. He desorption occurs at much lower temperatures than in coarse-grained metals and is impeded after interfacial relaxation. In the interfaces of n-Ni the Curie temperature and the magnetic moment per atom are reduced due to the open disordered structure.
