Abstract

The structure and dissociation of grain boundaries in Ge bicrystals, grown by the Czochralski method, have been analyzed by visible light and transmission electron microscopy. The seed crystals were oriented to yield either a symmetric or an asymmetric grain boundary plane with a 15° rotation about a common <110> direction. The asymmetric boundary, with a {111} boundary plane, dissociated along most of its length into a first order twin boundary (Σ 3) and a symmetric 55° grain boundary (Σ 41c). The symmetric 15° boundary is composed of an array of Lomer dislocations. Contrary to theoretical predictions, this boundary is stable.
