abstract = {Grain boundaries in materials have substantial influences
on device properties, for instance on mechanical stability
or electronic minority carrier lifetime in multicrystalline
silicon solar cells. This applies especially to asymmetric,
less ordered or faceted interface portions. Here, we present
the complex atomic interface structure of an asymmetric Σ9
tilt grain boundary in silicon, observed by high resolution
scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) and
explained by atomistic modeling and computer simulation.
Structural optimization of interface models for the
asymmetric Σ9 and related symmetrical Σ9 and Σ3 tilt
grain boundaries, by means of molecular-statics simulations
with empirical silicon potentials in combination with
first-principles calculations, results in a faceted
asymmetric interface structure, whose grain-boundary energy
is so low that it is likely to exist. The simulated local
atomic structures match the observed HR-STEM images very
well.},
