Abstract

It has been reported that most deformation twins in nanocrystalline face-centered-cubic metals do not produce macroscopic strain. Here we report the decrease of zero-strain deformation twinning with decreasing stacking-fault energy. One of the two major mechanisms that produce zero-strain twinning is cooperative slip of three partials under external applied stress. Lower stacking-fault energy weakens this mechanism and statistically reduces the fraction of twins with zero-strain.
