This study investigates the temperature dependence of grain boundary migration (GBM) utilizing atomic simulation models. Authored by Hao Zhang and David J. Srolovitz from Princeton University, the research incorporates a modeling approach that evaluates the driving force dependence and mobility of GBM. Key findings include the effect of temperature on activation energy, grain boundary energy, and reduced mobility. Using FCC aluminum <111> tilt grain boundaries, the results reveal insights into migration rates and the interplay of driving forces, which are crucial for understanding grain growth processes.

Conclusions • Reduced mobility shows local maxima at low S7 • Mobility shows maxima at low S misorientations • Boundary energy exhibits minima at low Smisorientations • Magnitude of activation energy in simulation << than in experiment • Possible reasons: simulations do not represent the true physics impurities
