Abstract: SignificanceNacre exhibits outstanding mechanical performance, which results from coordinated deformation mechanisms synergistically working in characteristic microstructures at multiple length scales. A comprehensive understanding of crystal defects within aragonite is critical for discussing the deformation behavior… read more here.
