Deformation twinning in Zn, Sn and Bi single crystal whiskers

D. R. Overcash, E. P. Stillwell, M. J. Skove, J. H. Davis

Abstract

In ‘whiskers’ of Zn, Sn and Bi it is possible, by application of axial tension, to nucleate a twinned region and pass the twin boundaries the length of the crystal. Nucleation and propagation stresses for twinning in whiskers are found. The completely twinned crystal will withstand the large stresses characteristic of perfect whiskers.
