Abstract
This article reviews recent basic research on two classes of twins: growth twins and deformation twins. We focus primarily on studies that aim to understand, via experiments, modeling, or both, the causes and effects of twinning at a fundamental level. We anticipate that, by providing a broad perspective on the latest advances in twinning, this review will help set the stage for designing new metallic materials with unprecedented combinations of mechanical and physical properties.

Towards strength–ductility synergy through the design of heterogeneous nanostructures in metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent advances in overcoming this tradeoff, by purposely deploying heterogeneous nanostructures in an otherwise single-phase metal, and advocate this broad vision to help guide future innovations towards a synergy between high strength and high ductility.

Mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys with emphasis on face-centered cubic alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the principal mechanical properties of multi-principal element alloys with emphasis on the face-centered cubic systems, such as the CrCoNi-based alloys, and suggest their favorable mechanical properties and ease of processing by conventional means suggest extensive utilization in many future structural applications.

Extra strengthening and work hardening in gradient nanotwinned metals.

TL;DR: This work indicates that simultaneous enhancement in strength and work hardening can be achieved by solely increasing the structural gradient in pure Cu, and provides insights into combining structural gradients at different length scales in order to push forward the strength limit of materials.

Radiation damage in nanostructured materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized and analyzed the current understandings on the influence of various types of internal defect sinks on reduction of radiation damage in primarily nanostructured metallic materials, and partially on nanoceramic materials.

Ultrahigh strength and high electrical conductivity in copper

TL;DR: Pure copper samples with a high density of nanoscale growth twins are synthesized and show a tensile strength about 10 times higher than that of conventional coarse-grained copper, while retaining an electrical conductivity comparable to that of pure copper.

Strengthening Materials by Engineering Coherent Internal Boundaries at the Nanoscale

TL;DR: An approach to optimize strength and ductility is outlined by identifying three essential structural characteristics for boundaries: coherency with surrounding matrix, thermal and mechanical stability, and smallest feature size finer than 100 nanometers.

Revealing the Maximum Strength in Nanotwinned Copper

TL;DR: The maximum strength of nanotwinned copper samples with different twin thicknesses is investigated, finding that the strength increases with decreasing twin thickness, reaching a maximum at 15 nanometers, followed by a softening at smaller values that is accompanied by enhanced strain hardening and tensile ductility.

The onset of twinning in metals: a constitutive description

TL;DR: In this article, a constitutive expression for the twinning stress in BCC metals is developed using dislocation emission from a source and the formation of pile-ups, as rate-controlling mechanism.
