Abstract

An experimental high resolution image of a grain boundary has been compared with images simulated from atomic structures calculated by two theoretical methods. Some of the techniques used in the analysis of the images are presented. A good agreement is found between each theory and the experiment, confirming the validity of calculations of such a boundary.
