Abstract

A dynamical simulation of curved grain boundaries composed of pyramidal-shaped ledges has shown that the boundaries can move by local conservative shuffles of atoms or groups of atoms such that one adjoining crystal grows at the expense of the other. In the model system studied, the shuffles often take the form of correlated rotational displacements about the axis normal to the boundary. The simulations provide support for the atomic mechanism proposed by Babcock and Balluffi to explain their observation of grain boundary migration without the participation of SGBDs.
