Abstract

Based on a generalization of a capillary equation for solids, we develop a method for measuring the absolute value of grain-boundary stress in polycrystalline samples having a large interface-to-volume ratio. The grain-boundary stress in nanocrystalline Pd is calculated from X-ray diffraction measurements of the average grain size and the residual-strain-free lattice spacings, yielding a value of 1.2 ± 0.1 N /m. The random distribution of crystallite orientations in the sample in conjunction with calorimetric data for the area-averaged interfacial energy and knowledge of the grain-boundary misorientation distribution function suggest that this value is characteristic of random high-angle grain boundaries in Pd.

Keywords: Interface stress; Grain-boundary stress; Nanocrystalline materials; Palladium; X-ray diffraction
