a The GPFE curve of a perfect Al crystal calculated using DFT showing the changes in the fault energy associated with the nucleation an embryonic twin consisting of three fault layers. b The GPFE curve depicting the growth of the nucleated twin by the consecutive activation of the partial dislocation in the neighboring (111) plane. Here, bP (= \( {a}_0/\sqrt{6} \)) is the Burgers vector for the partial dislocation
