The grain size in pure Fe was >200 nm after annealing for 1 h at T/TM = 0.5. Additions of 1 at.% Zr stabilized the grain size at 50 nm up to T/TM = 0.92. Particle pinning, solute drag and reduction in grain-boundary energy have been proposed as stabilization mechanisms. The stabilization in Fe–Zr alloys is attributed to a reduction in grain-boundary energy due to Zr segregation.}, number={5}, journal={SCRIPTA MATERIALIA}, author={Darling, Kris A. and Chan, Ryan N. and Wong, Patrick Z. and Semones, Jonathan E. and Scattergood, Ronald O. and Koch, Carl C.}, year={2008}, month={Sep}, pages={530–533} }
