Abstract
The incorporation of lattice dislocations into a 16° [011] tilt bound-ary in Ge bicrystals has been analyzed with high-resolution and conventional transmission electron microscopy techniques. Dislocations in subgrain boundaries produced during high-temperature creep, knit into the high-angle grain boundary. As these lattice dislocations are absorbed, the structure changes along the grain boundary from one subgrain to the next. Analysis of the boundary structure by lattice-fringe imaging demonstrates that the secon-dary dislocations which accomodate the deviation from the coincidence orien-tation do not have primitive DSC Burgers vectors.
