摘要: Twinning can become an important deformation mechanism in fcc metals once the crystal size is reduced to sub-micron scale, e.g., nanocrystals or nanowhiskers. The study of twinning process, interactions between propagating twins and dislocations therefore for a better understanding mechanical properties metallic nanostructures. Here we show results atomistic simulations defect-free nanowhiskers under tensile load using different EAM potentials Au. mechanisms twin propagation twin-stacking fault interaction are described modification criterion by Chen et al. [M. al., Science 300, 1275, 2003] predicting its dependence presented.
