Diffusive-to-ballistic transition in grain boundary motion studied by atomistic simulations

An adapted simulation method is used to systematically study grain boundary motion at velocities and driving forces across more than five orders of magnitude. This analysis reveals that grain boundary migration can occur in two modes, depending upon the temperature (T) and applied driving force (P)....
