The structure and faceting behavior of tilt grain boundaries in aluminum

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10136351

This work describes a number of experimental observations on the structure and behavior of {Sigma}99 and other near-90{degree} <110> tilt boundaries in bicrystals of aluminum. The continuous bicrystal structure employed in these studies is based on the symmetry properties inherent in heteroepitaxial growth. A thin film grown in this geometry consists of intertwined grains surrounding each other but with only two grain orientations.
