Energy of Grain Boundaries in Halite

Abstract
Relative grain boundary energy measurements were made by the tracrystal method for [100] tilt boundaries in NaCl. The dependence of boundary energy on grain misorientation was similar to that in metals; however, the presence of significant torque term effects, i.e. dependence of the boundary energy on boundary orientation, is indicated. A method of measuring the relative magnitudes of the torque terms by applying a driving force to boundaries in bi‐crystals is described.
