Surface Imperfections 2D in a mathematical sense The region of distortion is ~ few atomic diameters in thickness
External surface of the crystal External surfaces have energy related to the number of bonds broken at the surfaceSurface Energy/ unit area (J/m2)No. of atoms/ unit areaNo. of bonds broken/ unit areaBond energy / bondAs two surfaces are created / bond broken

Interphase boundaryGrain boundary
Grain Boundary The grain boundary region may be distorted with atoms belonging to neither crystal The thickness may be of the order of few atomic diameters The crystal orientation changes abruptly at the grain boundary In an low angle boundary the orientation difference is < 10 In the low angle boundary the distortion is not so drastic as the high-angle boundary can be described as an array of dislocations Grain boundary energy is responsible for grain growth on heating ~ (>0.5Tm) Large grains grow at the expense of smaller ones The average no. of nearest neighbours for an atom in the grain boundary of a close packed crystal is 11

Twin Boundary The atomic arrangement on one side of the twin boundary is related to the other side by a symmetry operation (usually a mirror) Twin boundaries usually occur in pairs such that the orientation difference introduced by one is restored by the other The region between the regions is called the twinned regionAnnealing twins (formed during recrystallization)Deformation twins (formed during plastic deformation)Twin
