Reconciling grain growth and shear-coupled grain boundary migration

Conventional grain growth models assume the velocity of a grain boundary is proportional to its curvature but cannot account for the many deviations observed experimentally. Here, the authors present a model that connects grain growth directly to the disconnection mechanism of grain boundary migrati...
