Title: Atomic structure of a symmetric 27{degrees}[001] tilt grain boundary in MgO

Conference ·
OSTI ID:503504

The atomic structure of a symmetric 27 degree[001] tilt grain boundary in magnesium oxide has been determined by high-resolution Z-contrast imaging using a 300kV VG HB603U scanning transmission electron microscope with a 1.3 A probe. The atomic configuration in the grain boundary core is found to be considerably less open than the structures proposed for similar materials.
