S. Poulat et al., Incorporation processes of extrinsic dislocations in singular, vicinal andgeneral grain boundaries in nickel, MAT SCI E A, 309, 2001, pp. 483-485
The relaxation of the stresses associated to grain boundary (GB) extrinsic
dislocations is investigated by in situ transmission electron microscopy in
nickel near-Sigma = 3 {1 1 1}, near-Sigma = 11 {3 1 1} and near-Sigma = 11
{3 3 2} GBs. The results show that the stress relaxation depends on the GB
structure: in periodic GBs, it requires discrete interactions between inte
rgranular dislocations; in non-periodic GBs, the widening of dislocation co
ntrasts is attributed to a dislocation core spreading. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sc
