Fig. 3: The growth and shrinking of a new grain.
From: Rejuvenation of plasticity via deformation graining in magnesium

This grain formed when the stress reached ~1.0 GPa at the end of Stage-1, near the contact interface between the pillar top and diamond punch. a, b It grew during loading, c shrank during unloading, d then grew again upon reloading. Dashed line marks the previous position of the boundary. The viewing direction is \({\sim}\langle 2\bar{1}\bar{1}0\rangle\). The traces of \(\{0002\}\) and \(\{10\bar{1}1\}\) are outlined.
