Abstract
Specimens of tin, consisting of three crystals of predetermined orientations, were prepared with various differences of orientation between two of the crystals. The equilibrium angles between the three boundaries were measured. Relative values of specific surface free energy were deduced from the angles, and it was found that the surface energy decreases progressively as the difference of orientation decreases below about 6°. The curve relating surface energy with differences of orientation extrapolates to zero surface energy at zero angle. The result is considered to provide strong support for the ‘transitional lattice’ theory of the crystal boundary.
