Identification of atomistic mechanisms for grain boundary migration in [001] twist boundaries: molecular dynamics simulations

In this thesis, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to characterize the atomic motions governing grain boundary migration in a series of [001] twist boundaries. Particularly, migrations of a =36.87 5, a =22.63 13 and a =40.23 general high angle [001] twist boundaries driven by stored elast...
