The five-parameter grain boundary distributions of grain boundary engineered nickel and
copper specimens have been analyzed in detail. The relative areas of {111} planes in the …

The whole complex of experimental results on the structure and properties of grain
boundaries in different materials has been analysed on the basis of the original works …

This paper presents an appraisal of investigations which feature statistics of grain boundary
plane distributions in polycrystals. The approach taken is to set the review against a …

Twinning is widespread in crystalline materials of various origin and nature. Basic concepts
and definitions of twinning are treated in many textbooks and review papers [1–3]. A …

Faceting is a well documented phenomenon known both for surfaces and interfaces,
particularly, grain boundaries (GBs). Faceting can be considered as a phase transition when …

The faceting of a tube-like tilt grain boundary (GB) in Cu bicrystals has been studied in the
temperature interval from 0.5 to 0.95 of the melting temperature Tm (Tm= 1356K). The grains …

Grain boundary engineering (GBE) involves the use of microstructural design to improve
bulk material properties and enhance resistance to intergranular degradation. More …

The dominant role of multiple twinning (appearance of the spectrum of Σ= 3 n boundaries) in
the formation of recrystallization texture of materials with a low stacking fault energy …

Data on grain boundary ensembles are presented for a wide class of materials
characterized by susceptibility to annealing twinning and twin morphology. The spectra of …

We examine the effectiveness of hydrogen passivation as a function of defect type and
microstructure at grain boundaries (GBs) in multicrystalline silicon. We analyze a solar cell …
