Nanoscale metallic multilayers have been shown to have a wide range of outstanding
properties, which differ to a great extent from those observed in monolithic films. Their …

The mechanical behavior of nanoscale metallic multilayers (NMMs) has attracted much
attention from both scientific and practical views. Compared with their monolithic …

We performed molecular dynamics simulation of nanoindentation on Cu/Ni nanotwinned
multilayer films using a spherical indenter, aimed to investigate the effects of hetero-twin …

We investigate the interfaces and mechanical properties of sputtered, highly (1 0 0) and (1 1
1) textured Cu/Co multilayers. In (1 0 0) Cu/Co multilayers, Co has primarily face-centered …

Nanostructured Cu/Fe multilayers on Si (110) and Si (100) substrates were prepared by
magnetron sputtering, with individual layer thicknesses h varying from 0.75 to 200nm. The …

Physical vapour deposition combined with atomic layer deposition was exploited to design a
model system of UFG aluminium with a narrow grain size and shape distribution, including …

Epitaxial Ag/Al multilayer films have high hardness (up to 5.5 GPa) in comparison to
monolithic Ag and Al films (2 and 1 GPa). High-density nanotwins and stacking faults appear …

To study the assistance of growth twin in nano-layered polycrystalline metallic multilayers to
their strength, a series of uniaxial tensile modeling of nano-twinned Cu//Ag and Cu//Ni …

The remarkable properties of nanotwinned (NT) face-centered-cubic (fcc) metals arise
directly from twin boundaries, the structures of which can be initially determined by growth …

Nanostructured metallic multilayers have attracted substantial attention as they often
possess high mechanical strength. Here we report on the microstructure and mechanical …
