Abstract

The equilibrium atomic structure of the ∑=15 36.9° (210)[001] tilt boundary in rutile (TiO2) has been computed using an ionic shell model and compared to a high-resolution electron microscope image of the same boundary using image simulation. The lowest energy structure of the boundary is characterized by an in-plane translation of a/6[120] relative to the mirrorsymmetric CSL configuration in agreement with the electron microscope observations.
