Abstract

A periodic density functional study of the high-energy π-bonded (100) stacking fault in diamond that can serve as a prototype of a twist grain boundary has been carried out. Information on formation energies, geometries and the electronic structure has been obtained. A single point electronic structure calculation of a ∑5 twist grain boundary based on the geometry taken from a molecular dynamics simulation has also been performed.
