The Plastic Deformation Mechanisms of hcp Single Crystals with Different Orientations: Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The deformation mechanisms of Mg, Zr, and Ti single crystals with different orientations are systematically studied by using molecular dynamics simulations. The affecting factors for the plasticity of hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals are investigated. The results show that the basal <<i>...
