Several controversies regarding the mechanical behavior of Mg at moderate temperatures
and quasi-static strain rates remain unsolved. In particular, the fundamental reasons behind …

Magnesium is an excellent candidate as lightweight structural material, but has strong
plastic anisotropy, and the activation of, operation of, and competition between different slip …

We present a systematic investigation of {10 1¯ 2} extension twinning mechanism in single
crystal magnesium micropillars deformed over seven orders of magnitude of strain rate, from …

We study the micro-mechanical behaviour of single-crystalline long-period-stacking ordered
(LPSO) structures, α-Mg and bi-crystalline Mg/LPSO micro-pillars, all cut from the same Mg …

A magnesium alloy with lean additions of Zn (1 wt.%) and Ca (0.3 wt.%), ZX10, and pure Mg
were subjected to orientation-dependent micropillar indentation tests at ambient …

This study aims to characterize the critical resolved shear stresses (CRSSs) of slip and
twinning in magnesium crystals, as a function of temperature, under conditions of imposed …

Specially oriented Mg single crystals were deformed at ambient and elevated temperatures
in channel-die compression with the c-axis inclined at 45° to the compression direction and< …

Magnesium (Mg) single crystal specimens with three different orientations were prepared
and tested from room temperature to 733 K in order to systematically evaluate effects of …

The present work, for the first time, quantitatively studies the evolution of both dislocations
and deformation twins with various strain rates in an ATZ311 Mg alloy. Interrupted tensile …

We propose a multiscale model of plasticity of pure MgO single crystals. The core structure
of the rate controlling ½〈 110〉 screw dislocations has been modelled by the Peierls …
