ABSTRACTLocation of diffused 57Co atoms in single crystals, bicrystals and polycrystals of pure iron and Fe72Al28alloy were investigated by means of emission Mössbauer spectroscopy. To interpret the results, first principles calculations of iron atom magnetic moments and hyper-fine field were carried out. From comparison of M6ssbauer spectra of single crystals with those of bicrystals and polycrystals, an information about grain boundary positions occupied by diffusing atoms is obtained. It is shown that about 5% of the diffusing atoms at the {112} grain boundary of iron are located at the positions either having impurity atoms in the nearest neighbourhood or characterized by larger atomic spacing in comparison with the bulk. In the Fe72Al28 a dominating portion of diffusing atoms have different surrounding than in grain volume. An enrichment of grain boundaries by aluminum could explain their hyperfine parameters.

The Ideal

The grain boundary surface is the excess energy of the grain boundary as the lattice on one side of the grain is translated relative to the lattice on the other side of the grain. The maximum in the slope of the grain boundary surface determines the ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding. We presented the ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding in aluminum Σ3(11 2)[110] tilt grain boundary from the first-principles calculations. The ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding was much smaller than the ideal shear strength of a perfect single crystal.

Defect Energies

ABSTRACTA detailed understanding of planar defects plays an important role in the search for a comprehensive description of the mechanical behaviour of metals and alloys. We present calculations for isolated stacking faults and grain boundaries using the layer Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method including an assessment of the force theorem, which has already proven itself in evaluating defect energies for elemental close-packed metals. These ab initio total energy calculations will be supplemented by a study of the changes in bonding and local magnetic properties near a symmetric Σ5 (310) grain boundary in Fe
