Deformation twinning is an important plastic carrier competing with the ordinary dislocation
slip in a broad class of crystalline solids, which critically controls the mechanical properties …

Body-centred cubic (BCC) metals possess unstable intrinsic stacking fault and high
resistance for deformation twinning, which often induce complex twinning dynamics that …

Twinning provides critical stress-relieving and flaw tolerance in body-centred cubic (BCC)
transition metals (TMs) when dislocation plasticity is suppressed. Twin nucleation and …

Critical thickness of deformation twins in body centered cubic transition metals have been a
topic of debate with many computational and experimental studies accepting a three-layer …

Deformation twinning serves as an important mode of plastic dissipation processes in
nanoscale body-centered cubic (BCC) metals, but its origin and spatio-temporal features are …
