Cr-segregation to a lamellar interface in NbSi2/MoSi2 duplex silicide has been examined by a newly developed phase-field model. The model can take into account the segregation energy evaluated by a first principles calculation to reflect the chemical interaction between solute atoms and the interface in addition to the elastic interaction. Cr segregation occurs at the interface in the case with segregation energy whereas no segregation occurs in the case with only elastic interaction. However, the segregation is much smaller than that observed in the experiment when the segregation energy was evaluated by the first principles calculation without lattice vibration (i.e. for 0 K). Another simulations with the segregation energy with lattice vibration results in segregation comparable to that in the experiment. Thus, it has been revealed that the solute-interface chemical interaction and its temperature dependence is responsible for the interfacial segregation of Cr.
