Atomic simulations of twist grain boundary structures and deformation behaviors in aluminum

The structures and behaviors of grain boundaries (GBs) have profound effects on the mechanical properties of polycrystalline materials. In this paper, twist GBs in aluminum were investigated with molecular dynamic simulations to reveal their atomic structures, energy and interactions with dislocatio...
