Abstract
The presence of an extended structure in a Σ = 9 grain boundary of copper has been highlighted by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The phase, located in a grain boundary region between two different asymmetrical facets, may be described as a three dimensional phase with a hexagonal structure. A detailed analysis of the defects at the limits between the phase and the two copper crystals allows us to propose an interpretation for the occurrence of this local phase transformation.
Dedicated to Professor Dr. Knut Urban on the occasion of his 65th birthday
