Diffusional-displacive transformation enables formation of long-period stacking order in magnesium

Abstract Mg is the most important lightweight engineering alloy enabling future weight-reduced and fuel-saving engineering solutions. Yet, Mg is soft. Long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structures in Mg alloys have unique crystal structures, characterized by both complex chemical and stacking order...
