In situ measurement and modelling of the growth and length scale of twins in α-uranium
Twinning is an important deformation mechanism in crystalline materials. Twins nucleate, then grow, forming a discrete pattern of deformation bands with a certain thickness. The mechanism for twin growth is not completely understood. We present a simple phase field model which captures the physics o...
