Abstract
The relative interfacial energies of symmetrical tilt boundaries in silver of greater than 99.999 pct purity were measured as a function of orientation difference ø between 9° and 36° about <001>. The results are in good agreement with the dislocation model of the grain boundary. The energy vs ø curve may be represented by the Shockley and Read equation in the form E0ø (0.55—In ø).
