Kn. Mikaelyan et al., Quasiperiodic tilt boundaries in polycrystalline and nanocrystalline materials: energy and stress fields, MAT SCI E A, 259(1), 1999, pp. 132-137
The structural geometry of quasiperiodic tilt boundaries (modeled as sequen
ces of structural units) in polycrystalline and nanocrystalline materials i
s discussed. The energy density of finite-length quasiperiodic tilt boundar
ies is calculated in a dislocation-structural-unit model. It is shown that
usually the energy density changes when rearrangements of structural units
of a quasiperiodic grain boundary with finite extent occur. However, some s
pecial rearrangements leave the energy density unchanged. (C) 1999 Elsevier
