摘要
The process of migration of two types of symmetric grain boundaries at high temperatures in crystalline sodium has been studied with an efficient ab initio molecular dynamics method, which allowed the use of ca. 6700 atoms. Rapid migration of one boundary is achieved by a small amplitude collective shuffling of the atomic positions. The other boundary appears immobile on the simulation timescale, and reasons for this are discussed.
