Description:
The existence of basal-prismatic interfaces and their roles in twinning of hexagonal materials have recently attracted appreciable attention of scientific community. In this paper, we utilize molecular statics to investigate the formation of basal-prismatic facets in the ##IMG## [http://ej.iop.org/images/1757-899X/63/1/012134/mse14_63_012034.jpg] {10bar12} twin boundary of magnesium. This interface is shown to be the consequence of a collective motion and interaction of twinning disconnections. By analyzing volume deformations caused by the migration of a single basal-prismatic interface, we show that the passage of this interface distorts the material equivalently to twinning shear.
