Abstract

The lattice statics Green's function method for calculation of the atomistic structure of grain boundary interfaces in solids as described in Part I is extended to include anharmonic effects. It is shown that the ‘anharmonic’ response of a solid to ‘anharmonic’ forces can be represented in terms of the ‘harmonic’ response of the solid to an effective anharmonic force. The Green's function method then requires solving a finite order nonlinear matrix equation, which is done by using standard numerical methods. For the purpose of illustration, the method is applied to calculate the atomistic structure of a ∑5 tilt boundary in fec copper.
