Recoverable plasticity in penta-twinned metallic nanowires governed by dislocation nucleation and retraction

TL;DR: A dislocation-mediated, time-dependent and fully reversible plastic behaviour in penta-twinned silver nanowires is reported, which originates from the surface nucleation, propagation and retraction of partial dislocations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanotwin-governed toughening mechanism in hierarchically structured biological materials

TL;DR: A combination of in situ fracture experiments inside a transmission electron microscope, large-scale atomistic simulations and finite element modelling show that the twin boundaries can effectively block crack propagation by inducing phase transformation and delocalization of deformation around the crack tip.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atomistic simulations of dislocation mobility in refractory high-entropy alloys and the effect of chemical short-range order.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the mechanisms underlying the mobilities of screw and edge dislocations in the body-centered cubic MoNbTaW RHEA over a wide temperature range using extensive molecular dynamics simulations based on a highly-accurate machine-learning interatomic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anomalous Tensile Detwinning in Twinned Nanowires

TL;DR: Using quantitative in situ transmission electron microscopy based nanomechanical testing and molecular dynamics simulations, a transition of the deformation mechanism from localized dislocation slip to delocalized plasticity via an anomalous tensile detwinning mechanism in bitwinned metallic NWs is reported.
