Title: Void-interface wetting to crossing transition owing to bubble to void transformation

Abstract

Understanding cavity-interface interaction is crucial in designing high-strength, radiation-tolerant nanocomposites. In this work, bubbles near the Cu–Nb interface in Nb could be absorbed by Cu voids wetting the interface due to the high system energy difference produced by the huge pressure difference between the bubbles and voids and high mobility of bubbles, and no bubble-denuded zone forms owing to fast Brownian motion of bubbles, which keeps bubbles distributed homogeneously. However, owing to the low system energy difference generated by the low internal pressure difference and low mobility, voids near the Cu–Nb interface in Nb would simply coalesce with Cu voids wetting the interface, leading to the void-interface wetting to crossing transition and the formation of void-denuded zones due to the negligible migration of internal Nb voids.
