Abstract Bulk Cu/Ta nanolamellar multilayers with an individual layer thickness from several
micrometers down to 50 nm were successfully fabricated via a combination of cross …

In-spite of all of the unique properties of nanocrystalline materials, they are notorious when it
comes to their susceptibility to thermally induced grain coarsening, thus imposing an upper …

The present knowledge on grain boundary-related phenomena specific for severely
plastically deformed materials is reviewed and critically analyzed in detail. Severe plastic …

Abstract Nanostructured Cu–Ta alloys have shown promise as high-strength nanocrystalline
materials in part due to their limited grain growth at high temperatures. In the present study …

Complexions are phase-like interfacial features that can influence a wide variety of
properties, but the ability to predict which material systems can sustain these features …

Dispersion-strengthened copper alloys can achieve ultra-high strength, but usually at the
expense of ductility. In this study, a strategy for overcoming strength-ductility tradeoff of Cu …

Ultrathin ceramic coatings are of high interest as protective coatings from aviation to
