Measuring Relative Grain Boundary Energies and Mobilities in an Aluminum Foil from Triple Junction Geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Knowledge of the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of grain boundaries over the full range of crystallographic type will be of great interest and utility. This paper presents results for relative grain boundary energies and mobilities in Al foil which have been extracted from the geometry and crystallography of triple junctions. This approach is based on the assumption of local equilibrium of grain boundary energies at triple junctions described by Herring [1],

Capillarity Vector Reconstruction of the Relative Energies of [0001] Tilt Boundaries in Alumina
We have measured the geometry and crystallography of the grain boundaries that form 124 triple junctions in a specimen of polycrystalline alumina. Each of these triple junctions is comprised of [0001] tilt boundaries which were assumed to be in local thermal equilibrium. By using the capillarity vector reconstruction method, we determined the energies of these boundaries as a function of the ti...
متن کاملTriple Junction Mobility: A Molecular Dynamics Study
We present a molecular dynamics simulation study of the migration of individual grain boundary triple junctions. The simulation cell was designed to achieve steady state migration. Observations of the triple junction angle and grain boundary profiles confirm that steady state was achieved. The static, equilibrium grain boundary triple junction angles and the dynamic triple junction angles were ...
متن کاملEvaluating Anisotropic Surface Energies Using the Capillarity Vector Reconstruction Method
By measuring the geometry and crystallography of the three interfaces that meet at grain boundary thermal grooves, it is possible to determine the anisotropy of the surface free energy. Previously, the surface energy of MgO at 1400◦C in air was approximated by a truncated double Fourier series with coefficients that were determined by fitting the observations to Herring’s condition for local eq...
متن کاملMeasuring the Influence of Grain-Boundary Misorientation on Thermal Groove Geometry in Ceramic Polycrystals
We have used electron backscattered diffraction patterns to determine the misorientation of 201 adjacent pairs of grains in a magnesia polycrystal. The width and depth of the thermal grooves formed by these same grain boundaries were also measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM). By simulating the errors associated with the AFM observations and comparing our observations to existing data for m...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Grain Growth in Thin Metallic Films
We use geometrical arguments based on grain boundary symmetries to introduce crystalline interfacial energies for interfaces in polycrystalline thin lms with a cubic lattice. These crystalline energies are incorporated into a multi{phase eld model. Our aim is to apply the multi{phase eld method to describe the evolution of faceted grain boundary triple junctions in epitaxially growing microstru...
