Abstract

By introducing atomistic scale studies on solute segregation and its mechanism in recent years, the segregation of interstitial atoms, substitutional atoms and vacancy, and its effect on materials properties are reviewed. The relationship between solute segregation and site preference of alloying elements is discussed. Finally, the physical-based mechanism about the effect of solute segregation on mechanic properties of materials is summed up.
