ABSTRACT
The formation of a fivefold deformation twin in nanocrystalline Al is studied by
the quasicontinuum method The Study focuses oil the microstructure effect on the
formation process A particular low-index grain boundary, which has been
investigated ill a bicrystal model, is observed in the sample The dislocation
reflection and inhomogeneous Stress distribution caused by this rain boundary
are discussed The Importance of this microstructure to the formation of it
fivefold deformation twin IS manifested by the results.
