Title: Detection of expansion at large angle grain boundaries using electron diffraction

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5306435

Lamarre and Sass (LS) (Scripta Metall. 17: 1141(1983)) observed a grain boundary electron diffraction effect from a large angle twist boundary which they claim can be used to obtain the volume expansion at the grain boundary in a direction normal to it. This paper considers the case where the intensity from the grain boundary region, is close to lattice reflections on the same element of the boundary diffraction lattice. Analysis of this complex problem show that the simplified model of LS is misleading in this case. (DLC)
