Schematic views of the atom positions when calculating the GSF curve. (a) perfect fcc crystal, (b) unstable stacking fault, (c) stable stacking fault, and (d) unstable twin fault. The configuration is viewed from the [1-10] direction. Atoms with perfect fcc structure are colored with dark blue, the red atoms represent the stacking fault, and the light blue atoms represent the twin fault.
