Abstract

Stacking faults in close-packed metals are known to play a crucial role in determining mechanical behaviour. Extending recent layer Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker calculations on twin faults in a variety of FCC crystals, we study in detail the aluminium defect and develop an atomistic understanding of the modifying behaviour of small concentrations of impurity atoms.
