Applications of nanowires into future generation nanodevices require a complete
understanding of the mechanical properties of the nanowires. A great research effort has …

Natural and synthetic nanoparticles composed of fivefold twinned crystal domains have
distinct properties. The formation mechanism of these fivefold twinned nanoparticles is …

A wide variety of crystalline nanowires (NWs) with outstanding mechanical properties have
recently emerged. Measuring their mechanical properties and understanding their …

Nanosized metals usually exhibit ultrahigh strength but suffer from low homogeneous
plasticity. The origin of a strength–ductility trade-off has been well studied for pure metals …

Fivefold and icosahedral symmetries induced by multiply twinned crystal structures have
been studied extensively for their role in influencing the shape of synthetic nanoparticles …

The mechanical behaviors of nanowires (NWs) are significantly different from those of their
bulk materials because of their small dimensions. Determining the mechanical performance …

Shape-controlled synthesis of multiply twinned nanostructures is heavily emphasized in
nanoscience, in large part due to the desire to control the size, shape, and terminating facets …

The formation of multifold twins in nanocrystalline face-centered-cubic metals and alloys
was frequently ascribed to a grain boundary (GB) mediated process. However, the …

A 5-fold twin is usually observed in nanostructured metals after mechanical tests and/or
annealing treatment. However, the formation mechanism of a 5-fold twin has not been fully …

Periodic gyroid network materials have many interesting properties (band gaps,
topologically protected modes, superior charge and mass transport, and outstanding …
