Fig. 4: MD simulations of the microstructural evolution in ND \([0\overline{11}]\) and SD \([100]\).
From: Deformation twins as a probe for tribologically induced stress states
Two representative time steps are presented in (a) and (b), before and after twin thickening respectively. The insets zoom in to the twin system of interest. Atoms on the left and right side of the twin have been marked in (a) by red circles, and the distance in ND and SD was calculated based on the atom positions in the MD simulations. The atom ID allowed to mark the same atoms in (b) after twin thickening. c A schematic drawing of the activated twin system. Here, blue circles are matrix atoms, red circles are twin atoms and light blue circles are the atom position before twinning. The SD is from left to right.
