Abstract

Calculated energies are reported for Sigma= 11 (233) [011] tilt grain-boundary variants in Ge and Si. The anharmonic bond-charge model yields different energy rankings of the Sigma=11A and Sigma=11B variants in the two materials, in agreement with the experimental observations. Criteria for selecting well suited interatomic models are discussed and the anharmonic model is described.
