Abstract

Cu bicrystals were doped with different amounts of Bi and annealed at various temperatures. The segregation at the grain boundary (GB) was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). It is found that with both increasing temperature and increasing Bi content the amount of faceting of the GB increases, finally reaching complete faceting. This final state is distinguished by brittle behavior. By analyzing the shape of pores at the GB we found that the Cu surface energy anisotropy is probably increased by Bi surface segregation.
