Abstract
A general theory able to predict the geometrical character of crystallographic defects in periodic interfaces is developed. The theory applies to grain and interphase boundaries, and treats the total symmetry of both the adjacent crystals. An expression is obtained which describes the character of all permissible interfacial line defects. In addition to "dsc" dislocations, it is shown that other types of dislocations can arise, for example when one crystal is nonsymmorphic. Interfacial disclinations, and defects which arise when one crystal is nonholosymmetric are also considered.
