From: Deformation Twinning in Polycrystalline Mg Microstructures at High Strain Rates at the Atomic Scales
Microstructural evolution of thin section (3 nm) of polycrystalline Mg during uniaxial tensile stress loading at strain rate of 109 s−1 at a time (strain) of (a) 48 ps (4.8%), (b) 52 ps (5.2%), (c) 80 ps (8%) and (d) 120 ps (12%). The atoms are colored using E-CNA method. Bulk HCP atoms are colored yellow, grain boundary/disordered atoms are colored dark blue, FCC atoms (basal stacking fault) are colored green, purple atoms represent {\({\rm{10}}\bar{1}1\)} CT boundary, light blue atoms represent {\({\rm{11}}\bar{2}1\)} TT boundary and red atoms represent surface/voids.
