The nucleation and propagation mechanisms of extension twin boundaries (TB) have aroused great experimental and computational interests [1]. It is commonly accepted that the propagation of deformation twins in magnesium is attributed to the glide of twinning dislocations or disconnections (TD) on the twin plane (K1) along the twinning direction (η1), which is activated by a combination of shear stress and atomic shuffling [2, 3]. However, it has been frequently observed that the TBs of {-1012} twins deviate from the ideal K1 planes, especially at the tips [4, 5]. Braisaz, et al. noted that the abnormal deformation around the twin tips can be accommodated by the combination of regular K1 boundaries as well as a high-angle basal-prismatic (BP/PB) boundary [6]. They also pointed out that the TDs can slip on K1 boundaries and cross-slip onto the BP/PB boundaries to propagate the twins. On the other hand, Li and Ma proposed a shuffling model based on their MD simulations to explain the propagation of twins without the help of TDs [7]. Nevertheless, the shuffling model remains controversial because it contradicts the well-accepted conservative principle of twin propagation.
