Quasiperiodic [110] Symmetric Tilt FCC Grain Boundaries
Abstract
In this work, we investigate [110] symmetric tilt FCC grain boundaries (GBs) by a recently developed approach for quasiperiodic interfaces using the Landau-Brazovskii model. On special tilt angles associated with quadratic algebraic numbers, quasiperiodic GBs exhibit generalized Fibonacci substitution rules. The transition mechanism from quasiperiodic GBs to periodic GBs is explored through sphere offsets and spectral coalescence. We also propose an accurate method to calculate the GB energy for arbitrary tilt angle and analyze the factors affecting the GB energy. The revealing GB energy change is continue along with tilt angle except periodic GBs.
