“…In other words, if the energy and population are inversely correlated, it is possible that the statistical grain boundary distribution is a measure of the grain boundary energy anisotropy just as the shape a small crystal in equilibrium is a measure of the surface energy anisotropy. Although grain boundaries are moving at the high temperatures where the grain boundary distribution is determined, local equilibrium is obtained at the triple junctions and this may be the feature that creates statistically equivalent grain boundary population distributions at different grain sizes [83]. If so, this would also represent a path toward measuring grain boundary energies.…”

This paper reviews findings on the anisotropy of the grain boundary energies. After introducing the basic concepts, there is a discussion of fundamental models used to understand and predict grain boundary energy anisotropy. Experimental methods for measuring the grain boundary energy anisotropy, all of which involve application of the Herring equation, are then briefly described. The next section reviews and compares the results of measurements and model calculations with the goal of identifying generally applicable characteristics. This is followed by a brief discussion of the role of grain boundary energies in nucleating discontinuous transitions in grain boundary structure and chemistry, known as complexion transitions. The review ends with some questions to be addressed by future research and a summary of what is known about grain boundary energy anisotropy.

“…The experiments of Saylor et al [13] and 3D simulations of Gruber et al [17] show that the inclination dependence of the grain boundary energy affects the grain boundary plane distribution for bulk structures with a random texture. After a limited amount of grain growth, a stead-state is established with a constant grain boundary plane distribution with maxima at inclinations with low energy.…”

“…Furthermore, based on the results of experiments [4,5] and computer simulations in two and three dimensions [6][7][8][9][10], the GBCD is inversely correlated to the grain boundary energy. The only available comprehensive experimental data indicates that the logarithm of the population is approximately linear with the energy, which is consistent with the results of a three-dimensional computer simulation [6,10,11]. These results are compared in Fig.…”
