Popis: | Faceted 3 CSL grain boundaries in silicon were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and ab-initio calculation. A {112} 3 CSL boundary consisted of two segments which differed in atomic structure. The segment near the connected corner to {111} 3 CSL boundary showed symmetric structure and the other long segment, being distant region from the corner, showed asymmetric structure. In the symmetric segment a 5-fold coordinated atom presented, which produced a deep state in the band gap. A pronounced shoulder, which could be attributed to the defect state above Fermi level, was detected only in Si-L23 energy-loss near-edge spectra (ELNES) acquired from the symmetric segment of the {112} 3 CSL boundary near the CSL junction.
