Abstract

We have performed total energy density functional theory calculations to investigate the sliding process at the ∑ = 5 (001) twist grain boundary in germanium. The accurate quantum mechanical description of the interatomic bonding provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of bond breaking and remaking that occur during the sliding.

In this paper we show how total energy calculations can be used to describe finite temperature and strain rate effects in this grain boundary.
