In situ atomic-scale observation of twinning-dominated deformation in nanoscale body-centred cubic tungsten.
Twinning is a fundamental deformation mode that competes against dislocation slip in crystalline solids. In metallic nanostructures, plastic deformation requires higher stresses than those needed in their bulk counterparts, resulting in the 'smaller is stronger' phenomenon. Such high stresses are thought to favour twinning over dislocation slip. Deformation twinning has been well documented in ...
متن کاملNew intrinsic mechanism on gum-like superelasticity of multifunctional alloys
Ti-Nb-based Gum Metals exhibit extraordinary superelasticity with ultralow elastic modulus, superior strength and ductility, and a peculiar dislocation-free deformation behavior, most of which challenge existing theories of crystal strength. Additionally, this kind of alloys actually displays even more anomalous mechanical properties, such as the non-linear superelastic behavior, accompanied by...
متن کاملA surface stacking fault energy approach to predicting defect nucleation in surface-dominated nanostructures
We present a surface stacking fault (SSF) energy approach to predicting defect nucleation from the surfaces of surface-dominated nanostructure such as FCC metal nanowires. The approach leads to a criterion that predicts the initial yield mechanism via either slip or twinning depending on whether the unstable twinning energy or unstable slip energy is smaller as determined from the resulting SSF...
متن کاملSuppression of three dimensional twinning for a 100% yield of vertical GaAs nanowires on silicon.
Multiple seed formation by three-dimensional twinning at the initial stages of growth explains the manifold of orientations found when self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires grow on silicon. This mechanism can be tuned as a function of the growth conditions by changing the relative size between the GaAs seed and the Ga droplet. We demonstrate how growing under high V/III ratio results in a 100% yield of...
متن کاملTwin nucleation in Fe-based bcc alloys—modeling and experiments
We develop an analytical expression for twin nucleation stress in bcc metal and alloys considering generalized planar fault energy and the dislocations bounding the twin nucleus. We minimize the total energy to predict the twinning stress relying only on parameters that are obtained through atomistic calculations, thus excluding the need for any empirical constants. We validate the present appr...
