contents Grain boundaries (GBs) trigger structure-specific chemical segregation of solute atoms. According to the three-dimensional (3D) topology of grains, GBs - although defined as planar defects - cannot be free of curvature. This implies formation of topologically-necessary arrays of secondary GB dislocations. We report here that these pattern-forming secondary GB dislocations can have an additional and, in some cases, even a much stronger effect on GB segregation than defect-free GBs. Using nanoscale correlative tomography combining crystallography and chemical analysis, we quantified the relationship between secondary GB dislocations and their segregation energy spectra for a model Fe-W alloy. This discovery unlocks new design opportunities for advanced materials, leveraging the additional degrees of freedom provided by topologically-necessary secondary GB dislocations to modulate segregation.
