The objective of this investigation was to identify the elementary twinning dislocations (TDs) for {l_brace}1-bar 011{r_brace} and {l_brace}1-bar 013{r_brace} twins by fully characterizing their structure for an Mg crystal. For both {l_brace}1-bar 011{r_brace} and {l_brace}1-bar 013{r_brace} twins, we conclude that the 2-layer TD, not the 4-layer TD, is the active TD in twinning. The 4-layer TD can be considered as the combination of two 2-layer TDs with opposite-sign screw components. Molecular statics simulations of the Peierls energy show why the TDs of both twinning modes (for c/a ratios > 1.5) are only activated when the c-axis experiences a compressive strain. The simulations predict that 2-layer TDs are more mobile than 4-layer TDs and that the mobility of these twinning dislocations depends strongly on dislocation character. Correspondingly, the influence of TDs involved in deformation twinning processes on deformation twins is discussed.
