Abstract Relative grain-boundary energies in ice were measured as a function of mismatch angles made by the c-axes or a-axes in grains, using ice specimens having triple grain boundaries. It was found that the Read–Shockley equation for grain-boundary energy was valid for grain boundaries tilted between 0° and 15°. Angles of the solid–vapour grain-boundary groove in ice were measured by the use of micro-interferometry at grain-boundary grooves covered with extremely thin metalic foil. The data were compared with those measured by a silvered replica of grain-boundary grooves.

The faceting and migration behavior of low angle <100> grain boundaries in high purity aluminum bicrystals was investigated. In-situ technique based on orientation contrast imaging was applied. In contrast to the pure tilt boundaries, which remained straight/flat and immobile during annealing at elevated temperatures, mixed tilt-twist boundaries readily assumed a curved shape and steadily moved under the capillary force. Computational analysis revealed that this behavior is due to the inclinational anisotropy of grain boundary energy, which in turn depends on boundary geometry – the energy of pure tilt low angle <100> boundaries is anisotropic, whereas that of mixed tilt-twist boundaries isotropic with respect to boundary inclination.

Boundary Properties

Grain boundary properties depend on both composition and structure. To test the relative contributions of composition and structure to the grain boundary energy, we calculated the energy of 388 grain boundaries in four elemental, fcc metals: Ni, Al, Au and Cu. We constructed atomic-scale bicrystals of each boundary and subjected them to a rigorous energy minimization process to determine the lowest energy structure. Typically, several thousand boundary configurations were examined for each boundary in each element.

Misorientation Of Grains

Energy and concomitant structure of grain boundaries are related to inclination of the boundary plane as well as misorientation of grains defining the boundary. Although increasing information is becoming available on variation of grain boundary energy with misorientation, still relatively little is known about variation of grain boundary energy with inclination. The purpose of this research is to examine preferred inclinations of preselected grain boundaries in gold by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in order to identify principal structural elements and to relate these elements to the energy of special grain boundary configurations.Grain boundaries examined in this research are produced by a new technique involving vapor deposition of gold on common (001) surfaces of bicrystalline substrates of NaCl, characterized by preselected rotation about a common [001] axis, and subsequent epitaxial growth to form a bicrystalline thin film. These films are then removed from their substrates and examined by TEM. The principal advantage of this technique is that the grain boundary is formed during the deposition and growth process, thus resulting in a more perfect boundary structure while eliminating necessity of a separate bonding operation.

Unit Model

We have used “local volume” (embedded atom) type potentials to study the surfaces and grain boundaries of Ni, Al, and Ni3Al. The simulations show that with appropriately fit potentials, the surface and grain boundary structure can be realistically calculated. The surface rippling and relaxation show good agreement with experiments. The energies of most surfaces and grain boundaries also agree with existing data. The structural unit model for grain boundaries in Ni3Al shows the same generic units as in pure metals, but with large variations due to distortions and multiplicity. The utility of the structural unit model is thus more limited for alloys. The grain boundary energies were found to be the highest for Al-rich Ni3Al grain boundaries, and depend significantly on the local composition of the grain boundary. The cusps in the grain boundary energy as a function of misorientation angle are different for different grain boundary stoichiometries. The Ni3Al grain boundaries have approximately the same grain boundary energy and cohesive energy as that of Ni.

AbstractRecent progress in studies of the structure and behaviour of grain boundaries in ice are reviewed. As a lattice geometrical model of the boundary, the coincidence-site lattice (CSL) model is considered for ice crystals. Some evidence of the validity of this model is presented through observations of special shapes of natural snow, results of grain-boundary energy measurements, and direct microscopic observations of boundaries by X-ray diffraction topography. Although methods of measurement of grain-boundary energy have been developed recently, results are still not adequate to be analysed in terms of real energetics for comparison with models of atomic bonding. Modern methods of observing grain boundaries in ice using X-ray diffraction topography are described. Observations of migrating boundaries have revealed that faceting along most closely packed CSL points impede the migration of the CSL boundaries whilst increased numbers of steps among facets with boundaries of other kinds enhance it. The mobility of a fast-moving boundary has been determined to be of the order of 10-10 cm3 dyn-1 s-1 (10-11 m3 N-1 s-1) either in the case when the driving force is the capillary force due to the boundary energy or when it is the stored energy of dislocations.
