Abstract
Al-based alloys such as Al-Cu and Al-Mg have interesting superplastic properties which are usually assigned to sliding at grain boundaries. Even though the underlying mechanisms of superplastic behavior and grain boundary sliding are not understood at an atomic scale, some empirical relations between structural and superplastic properties are known. Among them is the observation, that grain boundary sliding and therefore superplasticity are favored in alloys with small grains that have wide grain boundary regions.

We use s, p, and d partial waves, 16 energy points on a semi circular contour, 135 special k-points in the 1/12th section of the 2D Brillouin zone and 13 plane waves for the inter-layer scattering. The atomic wave functions were determined from the scalar relativistic Schrödinger equation, as described by D. D. Koelling And B. N. Harmon in J. Phys. C 10, 3107 (1977).
