Grain Boundary Relaxation in Bi-Crystals: Mechanical Spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Different Au-Ag-Cu samples have been studied by mechanical spectroscopy. Both polycrystals and bi-crystals show a relaxation peak at 800 K, accompanied by an elastic modulus change. Since this peak is absent in single crystals it is related to the presence of grain boundaries. Molecular dynamics sim...
