+ Create a grain boundary system. GB can be created either with AIMSGB or GBCode.
+
+ Parameters:
+ -----------
+ axis : tuple or list
+ The rotation axis of the grain boundary.
+ Used with backend 'aimsgb' and 'gbcode'.
+ sigma : int
+ The sigma value of the grain boundary.
+ Used with backend 'aimsgb' and 'gbcode'.
+ gb_plane : tuple or list
+ The Miller indices of the grain boundary plane.
+ Used with backend 'aimsgb' and 'gbcode'.
+ backend : str, optional
+ The backend to use to create the grain boundary. Default is 'aimsgb'.
+ Some keyword arguments are only suitable for some backend.
+ structure : the lattice structure to be used to create the GB, optional
+ The lattice structure to populate the grain boundary with.
+ Used with backend 'aimsgb' and 'gbcode'.
+ element : str, optional
+ The element symbol to populate the grain boundary with.
+ Used with backend 'aimsgb' and 'gbcode'.
+ lattice_constant : float, optional
+ The lattice constant of the structure.
+ Used with backend 'aimsgb' and 'gbcode'.
+ repetitions : tuple or list, optional
+ The number of repetitions of the structure that will be used to create the GB.
+ Used only with 'gbcode'.
+ For example, if (2,3,4) is provided, each grain will have these repetitions in (x,y,z) directions.
+ For similar functionality in 'aimsgb', use 'uc_a' and 'uc_b'.
+ overlap : float, optional
+ The overlap between adjacent grain boundaries.
+ Used only with 'gbcode'.
+ vaccum : float, optional
+ Adds space between the grains at one of the two interfaces
+ that must exist due to periodic boundary conditions.
+ Used only with 'aimsgb'.
+ gap: float, optional
+ Adds space between the grains at both of the two interfaces
+ that must exist due to periodic boundary conditions.
+ Used only with 'aimsgb'.
+ delete_layer: str, optional
+ To delete layers of the GB.
+ Used only with 'aimsgb'.
+ tolerance: float, optional
+ Tolerance factor (in distance units) to determine whether two atoms
+ are in the same plane.
+ Used only with 'aimsgb'.
+ primitive: bool, optional
+ To generate primitive or non-primitive GB structure.
+ Used only with 'aimsgb'.
+ uc_a: int, optional
+ Number of unit cells of left grain.
+ Used only with 'aimsgb'.
+ uc_b: int, optional
+ Number of unit cells of right grain.
+ Used only with 'aimsgb'.
+ graph : atomrdf.KnowledgeGraph, optional
+ The graph object to store the system.
+ The system is only added to the KnowledgeGraph if this option is provided.
+ names : bool, optional
+ If True human readable names will be assigned to each property. If False random ids will be used. Default is False.
+ label: str, optional
+ Add a label to the structure
+
+ Returns:
+ --------
+ atomrdf.System
+ The grain boundary system.
+
+ Notes
+ -----
+ This function requires the aimsgb and pymatgen packages to be installed to use the 'aimsgb' backend.
+
+ `repetitions` is used only with the 'gbcode' backend. 
+ For similar functionality in 'aimsgb', use `uc_a` and `uc_b`. However, repetition in the third direction
+ is not supported in 'aimsgb'. For a similar effect, after reaching the GB, `system.modify.repeat` function
+ could be used with (1, 1, u_c).
+
+ If 'gbcode' is used as backend, the specific type of GB is determined using the `find_gb_character` function
+ When backend 'aimsgb' is used, this is attempted. If the type could not be found, a normal GB will be added in the annotation.
