Popis: In the 50's Read and Shockley proposed a formula for the energy of small angle grain boundaries in polycrystals based on linearised elasticity and an ansazt on the distribution of incompatibilities of the lattice at the interface. In this paper we derive a sharp interface limiting functional starting from a nonlinear semidiscrete model for dislocations proposed by Lauteri--Luckhaus. Building upon their analysis we obtain, via $\Gamma$-convergence, an interfacial energy depending on the rotations of the grains and the relative orientation of the interface which agrees for small angle grain boundaries with the Read and Shockley logarithmic scaling.
