Abstract
Abstract
Triple junctions of grain boundaries, being line defects themselves, can contain other line defects – dislocations and disclinations. Geometrical properties of such line defects are considered in this paper. While some extrinsic defects can be brought into or generated in the junction, others are intrinsic to the triple junction, satisfying requirements of equilibrated structure.
