Reconstruction of a High-Angle Twist Grain Boundary by Grand-Canonical Simulated Quenching
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTA formalism for obtaining the zero-temperature structure of mono-component solids by simulated quenching in the grand-canonical ensemble is outlined. The structure of a high-angle twist grain boundary on the (110) plane of an fee metal is investigated. The lowest energy structure is found to have a density approximately 20% higher than the structure obtained from canonical-ensemble energy-minimization.
