Molecular Dynamics Modeling of the Effect of Nanotwins on the Superelasticity of Single-Crystalline NiTi Alloys

Figure 8

Atomic structure of (110) compound twins, and the white parallelogram indicates a monoclinic unit cell with the monoclinic angle . The mirror twin plane (dashed line) is located on the pure Ni layer. A few of the outmost surface layers (thickness of 0.5 nm) are not visualized for clarity. Ni and Ti atoms are represented by blue and red, respectively.
