Abstract
Computational studies aimed at extracting interface mobilities require driving forces orders of magnitude higher than those occurring experimentally. We present a computational methodology that extracts the absolute interface mobility in the zero driving force limit by monitoring the one-dimensional random walk of the mean interface position along the interface normal. The method exploits a fluctuation-dissipation relation similar to the Stokes-Einstein relation, which relates the diffusion coefficient of this Brownian-like random walk to the interface mobility. Atomic-scale simulations of grain boundaries in model crystalline systems validate the theoretical predictions and highlight the profound effect of impurities. The generality of this technique, combined with its inherent spatiotemporal efficiency, should allow computational studies to effectively complement experiments in understanding interface kinetics in diverse material systems.

- This high degree of sensitivity to the interaction potential is also observed in Ni (rows 19 and 20) where the zero driving force mobility extracted from equilibrium fluctuations for an EAM-Ni 〈111 〉 38.2° asymmetric tilt grain boundary is an order of magnitude higher than the LJ-Ni value.
