(Received 11 October 1989; in revisedform 4 December 1990) Abstract--High-resolution electron microscopy images of a 2731110]/(II1) bicrystal produced by heavy cold rolling and annealing show a multiplicity of grain boundary core structures. Two grain boundary states are separated by a partial grain boundary dislocation with Burgers vector b = 1/2 b~ (where b I = 1/6[112] is the Burgers vector of a secondary dislocation). This implies a change in translational state. All other structures are related through continuous transport of atoms from one grain to the other resulting in [IIl] grain boundary steps. Calculations of the energy associated with the observed structures indicate that the two perfect twin states t = 0 and 2bt are stable, while all other grain boundary translational states are metastable.
