Abstract

The dependence of the structure of (210) and (310) symmetrical [001] tilt boundaries in silicon, germanium and diamond on the Keating covalent force field (potential) has been investigated by computer modelling. We have found that the sensitivity of grain boundary structure to variations of the Keating potential depends on the local atomic arrangement at the grain boundary.
