Abstract

We investigate the atomic-scale structures of high-sigma (∑) tilt grain boundaries in aluminum using lattice statics calculations. In particular, we examine the efficacy of the structural unit model (SUM) in the context of long-period boundaries. Our investigation of both the equilibrium and metastable structures for certain high ∑ boundaries may necessitate a revision of the SUM formalism. We also consider further departures from high symmetry boundaries by considering the structural rearrangements induced by steps on boundaries.
