Abstract

We are using total energy pseudopotential calculations to carry out an extensive investigation into grain boundary sliding in a number of different systems, in order to understand, at microscopic level, the fundamental mechanisms responsible for this process.

In this paper we present results for the sliding process at the ∑ = 5(001) twist grain boundary in germanium, chosen as a typical covalently bonded material, and contrast them with preliminary results obtained for the ∑ = 5 (001) twist grain boundary in aluminium, a typical metal.
