Elastic electronic surfaces will integrate stiff thin film devices onto compliant polymer
substrates. These surfaces may be stretched once or many times, by up to tens of percent …

When a freestanding plastically deformable metal film is stretched, it ruptures by strain
localization, and the elongation is less than a few percent. When the film is deposited on a …

This review examines the size effects observed in the mechanical strength of thin metal films
and small samples such as single-crystalline pillars, whiskers, and wires. Experimental …

Pushing the internal or external dimensions of metallic alloys down to the nanometer scale
gives rise to strong materials, though most often at the expense of a low ductility and a low …
