Abstract

Germanium bicrystals containing dissociated low energy grain boundaries with a common [011] tilt axis were studied. The dislocation structure of a grain boundary with a misorientation of about 28° has been investigated in detail and could be interpreted as a near-coincidence Σ 27 - tilt grain boundary. Both conventional and high-resolution techniques were applied to analyze the Burgers vectors of the secondary dislocation network. In all cases non - primitive Burgers vectors were observed. The comparison with previous results indicates that the Burgers vectors of the dislocation network may depend on the degree of misorientation of the bicrystal.
