Molecular dynamics studies of twist boundaries in ionic materials

Description

The technique of constant stress molecular dynamics (MD) has been used to study NaCl systems containing Σ-5 [001] twist boundaries interacting with the right-ion model of Tosi and Fumi. While perfect coincidence Σ-5 [001] twist boundaries were found to dissociate into free surfaces below 0.25Tm, Σ-5 [001] anticoincidence twist boundaries with Schottky defects on the boundaries were stable up to the bulk melting temperature. Grain boundary thermodynamic properties, including the excess entropy and excess free energy of stable boundaries with 464 and 944 ions were calculated by molecular dynamics from low temperatures to bulk melting
