Abstract
The structure and physical properties of two Al tilt grain boundaries (GBs) at different temperatures have been studied using the molecular dynamics m ethod. We find that, with increasing temperature, the GB structure changes by steps. Three characteristic temperatures T-0, T-1 and T-2 have been iden tified for the changes in the GB structure. A comparison with available exp erimental data has also been made.
