ABSTRACTThe precipitation behavior of cobalt and nickel at grain boundaries in multicrystalline silicon is investigated. The metals are diffused into the specimens from a surface source between 800 -1000 °C and the precipitation after cooling is studied by conventional and high resolution TEM. Cobalt and nickel disilicide precipitates nucleate both in the bulk and at grain boundaries. They form few large (micrometer size) plate-like or three-dimensional precipitates depending on the cooling rate. Cobalt disilicide with a slightly larger lattice mismatch has a higher tendency to nucleate at large angle grain boundaries. Both suicides nucleate preferentially at coherent twin boundaries forming a few atomic layers thick platelet parallel to the {111} twin plane. HREM and image simulations are performed to analyze the Si / MS12 / twin interface structure (M = Co, Ni).

Four photographs of bubble rafts are used as a basis for discussion of the structure of grain boundaries in pure metals. In these photographs one can follow the gradual transition from a small-angle boundary made up of clearly separate dislocations to a large-angle boundary where the dislocation structure is hardly recognizable. As the angle is increased, a continuous shortening of the dislocations, accompanied by the widening of a crack on the tensile side, is seen, and the process culminates in a structure which is perhaps best described in terms of local fit and misfit. The fact is also illustrated that the dislocation content of the boundary depends on the angle of the boundary, as well as on the disorientation of the crystals that it separates. If a boundary turns it must therefore gain or lose dislocations. The bearing of this on the measurement of grain-boundary energies is discussed. Other points considered concern the range of validity of calculations of the energy of dislocation walls, and slip and diffusion along grain boundaries.

Three typical interactions of persistent slip bands (PSBs) with different types of grain boundaries (GBs) were investigated and analyzed in fatigued copper crystals. The results show that PSBs cannot transfer through all types of large-angle GBs, regardless of their orientation with respect to the stress axis. Secondary slip was often observed near the GBs, leading to strain incompatibility. When the slip systems of the two adjacent crystals are coplanar, the transmission of a PSB across a GB strongly depends on the slip directions of the two adjacent crystals. It was found that only the low-angle GBs can be passed through by PSBs, and accordingly they are insensitive to intergranular fatigue cracking. For a special copper bicrystal with coplanar slip systems, the ladderlike dislocation arrangements within the adjacent PSBs become discontinuous and a dislocation-affected-zone appears near the GB due to the difference in the slip direction of the two adjacent crystals. Therefore, the necessary conditions for the transmission of a PSB across a GB are that the neighboring grains have a coplanar slip system and identical slip directions.
