Grain Boundary Distribution plots and Images
A three dimensional reconstruction, of one of the volumes, colored by orientation.
Disorientation angle distribution (blue circles). The red squares show a random distribution for comparison. Note the break in the vertical axis.

The distribution of grain boundary planes at the sigma_3 misorientation.
The grain boundary energy as a function of orientation at the sigma_3 misorientation.
The correlation between the grain boundary population and grain boundary energy. For all GBs within an energy range of 0.025 a.u., the average energy and population is calculated and plotted on the graph.
