Abstract

The results of computer simulations on the effect of elastic energy on APB anisotropy are presented. The model used treats composition and order parameter as local variables defined at crystal planes parallel to the APB. The set that minimizes the free energy, including elastic energy terms, defines the equilibrium APB structure. It was found that, despite their high elastic anisotropy, elastic effects would not result in any substantial APB anisotropy in Fe-Al alloys. However, a model with different parameters did show a high degree of anisotropy.
