Reconstruction of a high-angle twist grain boundary by grand-canonical simulated quenching

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10115791
A 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 fcc metal is investigated. The lowest energy structure is found to be a twinned structure with a density approximately 20% higher than the structure obtained from canonical-ensemble energy-minimization.
