‘Unzipping’ of twin lamella in nanotwinned nickel nanowires under flexural bending

We report the fabrication of nickel nanowires with parallel growth-twin structures (‘twin lamella’ along the wire axis) by electrochemical deposition, and demonstrate an interesting twin ‘unzipping’ phenomenon in such nanotwinned nanowires under bending. Through in situ TEM, we found that ‘unzipping...
