Fig. 3

Configuration of the computationally generated Al NW subjected to a tensile strain (휀) of (a) 0.02, b-d 0.05, e 0.07, and f 0.15, showing a sequence of the twin nucleation and subsequent migration. The atoms are colored to represent the defect structures in the NW according to the values of their centrosymmetry parameter (Kelchner et al. 1998)
