Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Abstract Description
Nanotwinned metals are a promising class of modern materials combining a very high strength and ductility with excellent electrical properties. Their remarkable strength is connected to the high effectiveness of twin boundaries as obstacles to dislocation motion. In order to further characterize these interactions, micropillars containing single coherent twin boundaries with different orientations were compressed with a flat punch and subsequently investigated in the scanning electron microscope. The crystal orientations for compression were selected to activate different slip modes. The aim is to probe the different barrier effects that can act on gliding dislocations. The investigations concentrated on copper and α-brass. The latter is a low stacking-fault energy alloy exhibiting a high density of recrystallization twins. Coherent twin boundaries were selected from an EBSD orientation mapping of the sample and oriented by means of a custom sample holder. FIB-milling at these interfaces yielded micropillar samples containing a single twin boundary. Single crystal reference samples were obtained from the bulk of the grain located on both sides of the twin boundary. The microcompression tests enabled the quantification of the influence of the twin boundary barrier on the strength of each sample. The tests evidenced a strong dependency of the strength of the sample on crystal orientation and stacking-fault energy. The activated glide systems were subsequently identified from slip trace analysis and STEM mapping of lamellas obtained by FIB lift-out from the bulk of the tested micropillars.Please click Additional Files below to see the full abstract.
