    • 2015, Michael A. Gibson, Christopher A. Schuh, “Segregation-induced changes in grain boundary cohesion and embrittlement in binary alloys”, in Acta Materialia[1], volume 95, pages 145–155:
      While grain boundary enrichment is often attributed to equilibrium segregation effects, most models of embrittlement consider either the energetics of decohesion or the equilibrium adsorption at the boundary, but not both phenomena together.
