Description:
New twinning route in face-centered cubic nanocrystalline metals New twinning route in face-centered cubic nanocrystalline metals, Published online: 15 December 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-02393-4 Twin nucleation in face-centered cubic metals with high twin-fault energies should theoretically be unfavourable, but instead twinning is very often observed. Here, the authors report a new twinning route in nanocrystalline platinum that bypasses the high twin-fault energy barrier using closely spaced partial dislocations.
