Abstract:
The experimental proof of the possibility of the formation of an open sector instead of a twin boundary in pentagonal small particles, which was previously regarded in the literature as an improbable channel of relaxation of the elastic stress associated with a disclination defect, is presented. The relation between the critical size of the pentagonal small particle and the sector angle at which the probability of this channel of elastic stress relaxation becomes considerable is discussed.
