In this paper, the effect of sub-zero temperatures on the activation of basal slip,{10 1‾ 2}
tension twinning and pyramidal slip in pure magnesium was investigated systematically at …

The effect of yttrium (Y) on the critical resolved shear stresses (CRSS) of< a> basal slip,{10
1¯ 2}⟨ 1¯ 011⟩ tension twinning and< c+ a> pyramidal slip has been studied using micro …

Abstract Basal slip and {01 1¯ 2} twinning are two major plastic deformation mechanisms in
hexagonal closed-packed magnesium. Here we quantify the critical stresses associated with …

The strain rate (ε˙) and temperature (T) dependent mechanical response of single crystal
magnesium (Mg) micropillars compressed along the [2¯ 110] direction (a-axis) is …

The mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of single crystal magnesium under
c-axis quasi-static and high-strain rate compressions are investigated through in situ …

Single-crystal magnesium micropillars (5 µm diameter) have been fabricated using focused
ion beam (FIB) milling and loaded in compression along the [2 1¯ 1¯ 0] direction at …

Uniaxial compression experiments were conducted on two magnesium (Mg) single crystals
whose crystallographic orientations facilitate the deformation either by basal slip or by …

Micropillar compression technique was employed to study the microscale deformation
mechanisms of basal slip, twinning and non-basal slips at selected grains in a Mg-2 wt.% Y …

Single-crystal magnesium micropillars are fabricated using focused ion beam (FIB) milling.
The micropillars are loaded in compression along the [0001] c-axis. The stress–strain curves …

Abstract In this work, 99.999% pure magnesium (Mg) single microcrystals have been
deformed in [0001] compression (c-axis compression) and [10 1¯ 0] tension (c-axis …
