The free boundary model of diffusion-induced grain boundary motion derived in Cahn et al. [3], Fife et al. [6] and Cahn & Penrose [4] is extended, in the case of thin metallic films, to account for bidirectional motion, together with the appearance of S-shapes and double seam configurations. These are often observed in the laboratory. Computer simulations based on the extended model are given to illustrate these and other features of bidirectional motion. More generally, the extension accounts for the motion of grain boundaries whose traces on the film's surface are curved. The new free boundary model is one of forced motion by curvature, the forcing term possibly changing sign due to the bidirectionality. The thin film model is derived systematically under explicit assumptions, and an adjustment for grooving is included.

The topological transformation of grains in three-dimensional normal grain growth was analyzed by Brakke's Surface Evolver method that simulated the boundary motion by curvature. The statistics on elemental processes, which change the number of faces f of a grain, were determined from the simulation. The distribution function of the number of faces P( f ) in a steady structure could be predicted from the difference in the current of grains arriving at and leaving from state f. For the disappearance of one grain, face-creation switching occurred 3.7 times and face-elimination switching occurred 13.2 times on the average.

AbstractWe consider the evolution by curvature of a general embedded network with two triple junctions. We classify the possible singularities and we discuss the long time existence of the evolution.
