Yc. Wang et al., STRUCTURE-ANALYSIS OF THE SIGMA=7 ((12(3)OVER-BAR0) [0001] 21.8-DEGREES) GRAIN-BOUNDARY IN ALPHA-TI/, Philosophical magazine. A. Physics of condensed matter. Structure, defects and mechanical properties, 73(1), 1996, pp. 213-222
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy is used to observe a
Sigma = 7 ((<12(3)over bar 0>)/[0001] 21.8 degrees) grain boundary in
alpha-Ti. Relaxed structural models and image simulation are used to i
nvestigate the structure. The modelling structure which shows the best
fit for the experimental image is one where the dislocation cores are
separated by the nearly perfect regions at the boundary.
