Abstract

ABSTRACT secondary twinning inside a primary twin has been observed on the (0001) fracture surface of zinc after quenching of a single crystal grown by the Bridgman method. This type of double twinning was previously observed in magnesium with a quite different c/a axial ratio. A geometrical analysis is presented that can explain why the observed secondary twins are activated.
