Abstract

Transmission electron microscopy has been used to study the atomic and dislocation structure of deformed and undeformed Σ13 {510} boundary in Si. It is shown that there are several alternative structures for this boundary, which may be separated by imperfect and partial grain boundary dislocations. It is also shown that the dissociation of crystal lattice dislocations which interact with the boundary during deformation results is far more complicated than simple geometrical models applicable in monatomic materials predicts.
