The equilibrium charge density and free energy of tilt grain boundaries as a function of their misorientation is computed using a Monte Carlo simulation that takes into account both the electrostatic and configurational energies associated with charges at the grain boundary. The computed equilibrium charge density increases with the grain-boundary angle and approaches a saturation value. The equilibrium charge density at large-angle grain boundaries compares well with experimental values for large-angle tilt boundaries in GaAs. The computed grain-boundary electrostatic energy is in agreement with the analytical solution to a one-dimensional Poisson equation at high donor densities but indicates that the analytical solution overestimates the electrostatic energy at lower donor densities.
