Figure 2

The thickness of GBs at different temperatures was evaluated from the energy density profile across the GB. (a) The Σ5(310) GB gradually accumulates disorder and pre-melts near the melting point Tm, whereas (b) the Σ5(210) GB undergoes a transformation at 400 K before pre-melting near Tm.
