OS1101 Dynamic observations of Dauphine twinning of α-quartz by in-situ TEM compression testing
Details
In situ TEM compression testing of α-quartz nanopillars was performed to investigate the dynamic behavior of mechanical Dauphine twinning. Our results showed that the nanopillars deformed plastically at room temperature by mechanical twinning. It was also observed that the mechanical twinning reversed upon unloading. We will discuss the twinning mechanism in terms of crystal anisotropy of α-quartz.
