Grain boundaries (GBs) and their junctions often define properties of polycrystals and have an influence on diffusion and plastic behavior. Because of the high density of GBs included in polycrystalline materials and especially nanocrystalline materials, investigation of kinetic processes in this type of defect are of fundamental interest. Heading towards nanostructured materials one has to focus also on triple junctions (TJs) since their volume fraction and correlative their influence on materials' properties rise. In the present investigation, a near special Σ(5):Σ(5):Σ(25) copper tricrystal is utilized to examine the properties of a TJ with defined orientation of grains and misorientation across the GBs. The mass transport properties of the tricrystal are investigated using the radiotracer method. The kinetics of out-diffusion from the TJ into the neighboring GBs are measured by preparing proper bicrystalline samples. Additionally, tensile tests including plastic deformation of several percent are performed and the digital image correlation technique is applied to measure the strain fields in the immediate vicinity of GBs and TJs.
