The intrinsic brittleness and ductility of intergranular fracture along a number of symmetrical [1 1 0] tilt grain boundaries (GBs) in Cu are investigated via combined atomistic and continuum studies of dislocation nucleation from an atomically sharp crack tip. In all cases investigated, the classic
