8. Grain boundaries do not affect this picture very significantly when the boundary energy is much less than the metal free surface energy. The dihedral angles of grain boundary grooves in Ag vary from 160° to 175°, according to A. P. Greenough and R. King, J. Inst. Met. JIMEAP 0020-2975 79, 415 (1951).
