On the slip and twinning mechanisms on first order pyramidal plane of magnesium: Molecular dynamics simulations and first principal studies

Molecular dynamics simulations and first-principles calculations are carried out on first order pyramidal plane (π1) of magnesium to study both compression twinning (CTW) and dislocation slip. To this end, a generalized stacking fault energy analysis is employed on dense (π1D) and loose spaced (π1L)...
