Abstract:
It is shown how the coincidence site lattice theory, developed originally for grain boundaries and extended recently to triple junctions, can be applied to more complex ensembles of crystallites with the cubic crystal structure. These include quadruple points, multiple junctions of grains and other multicrystal assemblies. Application of the theory is demonstrated on hypothetical examples, which may help elucidate some practically important problems.
