Mechanical Properties of Symmetric Tilt Grain Boundaries in Silicon and Silicon Carbide: A Molecular Dynamics Study

The mechanical properties of polycrystalline materials are governed by the underlying microstructure. In this context, in this dissertation, the role of grain boundaries on the mechanical response of two technologically important materials namely silicon and silicon carbide are examined. In particul...
