Simulation of pure aluminum (111) twist boundaries exemplified the same relationship between grain boundary energy and misorientation angle as in published literature. The grain
boundary extended toward the free surfaces however the highest energy effects were seen at the grain boundary site and the free surfaces. The criteria for ensuring an accurate minimum energy for
each grain boundary required an energy box 13Å from each free surface.
