Nano-twinning in a γ′ precipitate strengthened Ni-based superalloy

Dear Colleagues,

Please see attached a recent article published in Materials Research Letters. In this article, we identified a new twinning pathway in a γ′ precipitate strengthened Ni-based superalloy by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and demonstrated, via atomistic simulations, that Co in the γ′ precipitates promotes the new twinning pathway featured with nucleation of one complex stacking fault (CSF) on the middle plane between two separated CSFs. 

Best,

Yizhe
