Snapshots of tensile deformation for 35.26° sample with TB spacing h CTB = 2.5 nm. (a) The original atomic configuration at ε = 0.00%. (b) The atomic configuration and von Mises stress distribution at the strain of 15.03%. (c) The atomic configuration near the peak stress (ε = 29.43%). The NW has transformed into a single crystalline NW. (d) At ε = 29.56%, partial dislocations emit from the junctions of {221} and newly formed {110} free surfaces where stress concentration occurs.
