From: Deformation Twinning in Polycrystalline Mg Microstructures at High Strain Rates at the Atomic Scales

Microstructural evolution of Grain 1 (G1) of polycrystalline Mg during uniaxial tensile stress loading at strain rate of 109 s−1 at a time (strain) of (a) 60 ps (6%), (b) 72 ps (7.2%), (c) 100 ps (10%) and (d) 120 ps (12%). The atoms are colored using E-CNA method. Only, atoms belonging to \(\{{\rm{11}}\bar{2}1\}\) TT (light blue) and basal stacking faults (green) are shown. Other types of atoms are blanked out to clearly visualize the interaction between basal stacking faults and TT1.
