摘要
A twinned microstructure is frequently observed after a martensitic phase transition. In this paper we investigate the atomic-level processes associated with the twin formation in a model system, using a many-body potential parametrized to represent zirconium. Molecular-dynamics simulations of the martensitic phase transition from bce to hcp in zirconium show the evolution of a laminated twinned microstructure. Plastic deformation also occurs, creating basal stacking faults. The plastic deformation is such as to cause a relation of the twins. This alters the twinning angle to the 61.5 degrees angle of the low-energy (10 (1) over bar 1)(hcp) twins. These are thus identified as a cause of microscopic irreversibility in Che transition.
