Under ambient conditions, Zn is a hexagonal metal with a large $c / a$ ratio of 1.856. Plastic deformation is predominantly accommodated by basal $〈 a 〉$ slip and compression twins on the ${10 \bar{1} 2}$ planes. Increasing hydrostatic pressure drastically reduces the $c / a$ ratio of Zn and, when a critical threshold of $c / a = \sqrt{3}$ at about 10 GPa is crossed, the ${10 \bar{1} 2}$ twins are predicted to change from compressive to tensile in nature. What happens at the transition point, when $c / a = \sqrt{3}$ , remains unknown. Here, we strain-cycle a textured polycrystalline sample of pure Zn at uniform hydrostatic pressures ranging between 2 and 17 GPa, over which the $c / a$ ratio crosses the $c / a = \sqrt{3}$ compressive-tensile transition for ${10 \bar{1} 2}$ twins. During deformation, the state of the sample is monitored through x-ray diffraction to extract texture and internal strain evolution. By comparing the experimental results with the predictions of an elastoviscoplastic polycrystal simulation, we confirm the androgynous nature of ${10 \bar{1} 2}$ twin response at low and high pressures. When $c / a = \sqrt{3}$ , polycrystalline Zn does not display any evidence of twinning and its plastic behavior is controlled by mostly basal and pyramidal $〈 c + a 〉$ slip activity, with a very small contribution of prismatic $〈 a 〉$ slip. Evidence for the activity of other ${10 \bar{1} n}$ twinning modes, which have been suggested for Zn under high pressure, are not observed. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
