Phonons and Local Elastic Moduli in Symmetrical Tilt Boundaries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1992
Abstract
Lattice vibrations and atomic level elastic moduli have been studied for a bicrystal containing a fully relaxed symmetrical tilt boundary in Au. Central force many body potentials have been employed to describe atomic interactions. In the long-wavelength limit the phonons localized at grain boundaries can be identified with Stoneley waves known from continuum analyses. These waves are localized at the grain boundary and their velocity agrees well with that evaluated using the local effective elastic moduli of the interfacial region. However, the usually used continuum model assuming an ideal match across the interface is not sufficient to analyze these waves fully and an explicit description of interfacial properties need to be included into the continuum models of interfaces.
