Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

Nanocrystalline (nc) materials can be defined as solids with grain sizes in the range of 1–
100 nm. Contrary to coarse-grained metals, which become more difficult to twin with …

Abstract We show that {10 1¯ 2} twinning in magnesium acts as an effective sink of basal
dislocations without loss of mobility. The lattice dislocation decomposes into the b 0/0 BP …

The general topological model for interfacial defects is reviewed and expanded, and the role
of these defects in the coupled shear-migration of interfaces is explored. We focus on …

We study the effect of nearest neighboring grains on the propensity for {1012} twin growth in
Mg and Zr. Twin lamellae lying within one grain flanked by two neighboring grains with …

The (1¯ 012) twin boundaries experimentally observed in hexagonal-close-packed metals
are often serrated rather than fully coherent. These serrated coherent twin boundaries …

In situ tension experiments were performed on oriented pure Mg single crystal specimens,
within a transmission electron microscope. Several microstructure evolutions directly related …

Consider a magnesium bicrystal created from two single crystal lattices referred to as black
and white. The bicrystal abuts a basal plane of the black crystal with a first-order prismatic …

In this study, elemental powder mixtures of Ti25Ta, an alloy with promise for orthopaedic
applications, were processed using Selective Laser Melting (SLM), an emerging …

ABSTRACT A controversy concerning the description of twinning, whether it is shear-shuffle
or pure glide-shuffle or pure shuffle, has developed. There is disagreement about the …
