## Description

- description: The nucleation of extension deformation twins in magnesium is investigated
    through in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indentation tests accompanying
    with load and unload modes.  Note that indentation direction is parallel to the
    [0001] direction (<c>-axis).  Based on the results obtained from numerical study,
    the dog-bone shaped specimen is used i) to avoid friction between the indentation
    tip and top of the specimen and ii) to control the stress concentration site.  Many
    dislocations on the basal and prismatic planes are activated at the loading state,
    and twins are never formed even at achieving maximum stress of ~1.4 GPa.  On the
    other hand, the {101 ̅2}-typed deformation twins are nucleated at the unloading
    state.  In-situ observations reveal that the source of twin nucleation is due
    to the interaction between activated dislocations through slips and residual dislocation,
    which causes a high stress concentration.  Subsequently, these twins grow as the
    unload indentation progresses.
