Abstract

We develop a model for recently observed 〈c + a〉 dislocation transmission across nano-spaced parallel basal stacking faults in hexagonal close-packed (HCP) Mg microcrystalline grains. The model theoretically predicts nanospace-dependent yield strength that is in good agreement with experimental data. Additionally, it theoretically predicts activation volume and strain rate sensitivity.
