Abstract
During recrystallisation, high angle grain boundaries migrate through deformed microstructure containing dislocations arranged, for example, in dislocation boundaries. A simple method for designing geometries suitable for atomistic simulations of migrating boundaries during recrystallisation is developed. Preliminary studies show that the method can be used to generate simulation cells with both high angle grain boundaries and small angle dislocation boundaries.
