Methods to evaluate the twin formation energy: comparative studies of the atomic simulations and in-situ TEM tensile tests

Abstract Deformation twinning, one of the major deformation modes in a crystalline material, has typically been analyzed using generalized planar fault energy (GPFE) curves. Despite the significance of these curves in understanding the twin nucleation and its effect on the mechanical properties of c...
