Fig. 4.

Normalized deformation mode map and deformation mode diagram. (A) The deformation mode map in Fig. 3 is scaled by the full-slip energy barrier, Inline graphic. Energy barrier trajectories are rearranged in a constrained form, which defines material-independent straight lines for each shear direction. The dimensionless parameter, Inline graphic, across the center of the map defines the entire energy trajectory of a given material. (B) The parameter Inline graphic enables generating a single-parameter deformation mode diagram. Critical points of Inline graphic identify four different classes of materials deformation: stacking fault only (Inline graphic), stacking fault with full slip (Inline graphic), full slip with twinning (Inline graphic), and full slip only (Inline graphic).
