Bias in polycrystal topology caused by grain boundary motion by mean curvature
<p> During heat treatment of polycrystalline materials, grain shape affects the rate of grain growth. In 2-D, the von Neumann-Mullins Law requires grains with fewer than six edges to shrink, greater than six edges to grow, and hexagonal grains to be stable regardless of edge lengths or curvatu...
