Deformation mechanism of kink-step distorted coherent twin boundaries in copper nanowire

In the construction of nanotwinned (NT) copper, inherent kink-like steps are formed on growth twin boundaries (TBs). Such imperfections in TBs play a crucial role in the yielding mechanism and plastic deformation of NT copper. Here, we used the molecular dynamic (MD) method to examine the influence...
