“…Our analysis represents a complement to numerous previous studies of GBs which were focused predominantly on scalar characteristics (i.e., energy, strength, changes in inter-atomic bonds, as well as electronic structure and atomic configuration, see e.g., Refs. [4,20,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101]). Our small-deformation anisotropic-elasticity assessment should be ideally extended in future by simulations of larger deformations [102,103,104,105] which have been rather rarely studied so far in case of GBs (see, e.g., Ref.…”
