In this work, we performed in situ nanoindentation in TEM to capture the real-time< c+ a>
dislocation and twinning activities in pure Mg during loading and unloading. We …

The ductility of magnesium is intimately related to\left ⟨ c+ a\right ⟩ dislocation.
Understanding the behavior of\left ⟨ c+ a\right ⟩ dislocations is of critical importance for …

Magnesium holds considerable promise as a lightweight structural material, but structural
applications of Mg alloys are generally limited to cast components because of its limited …

The small-scale deformation behavior of single-crystalline Mg was investigated using
nanoindentation combined with transmission electron microscopy observation. The …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are promising metals for many lightweight structural applications.
However, the fundamental deformation mechanism in Mg that lead to poor ductility …

The accurate determination of stacking fault energies (SFE) and associated restoring forces
is important for understanding plastic deformation, especially the dislocation emission and …

Recent molecular dynamics simulations revealed that< c+ a> dislocations in Mg were prone
to dissociation on the basal plane, thus becoming sessile. Basal dissociation of< c+ a> …

Alloying magnesium (Mg) with rare earth elements such as yttrium (Y) has been reported to
activate the pyramidal< c+ a> slip systems and improve the plasticity of Mg at room …

The effect of crystal orientation on incipient plasticity during nanoindentation was
investigated by experiments and molecular statics simulation. Pop-in behavior is a result of …

Magnesium has been of increasingly interest from the engineering viewpoint, because of its
low density and relatively high specific strength. 1) Despite intensive research efforts, there …
