Fig. 3. Correlation between local structures with more degree of LFFS and the irreversible atomic rearrangement during deformation. A slice in the middle of the samples along Z direction with a thickness of the first minimum of the pair correlation function was taken for the illustration. Black points represent the atoms having more degree of LFFS d 5 ≥ 0.5 at the strain of 5% a and 10% b. The red and blue areas are the mostly deformed regions emerged in the time interval of 40 ps and the less deformed regions, respectively. Reproduced from Ref. [32] .
