Nanoporous gold (NPG) is characterized by a bicontinuous network of nanometer-sized
metallic struts and interconnected pores formed spontaneously by oxidative dissolution of …

A successful working model for nanoporosity evolution during dealloying was introduced 15
years ago. Since that time, the field has rapidly expanded, with research groups from across …

Structural hierarchy can enhance the mechanical behavior of materials and systems. This is
exemplified by the fracture toughness of nacre or enamel in nature and by human-made …

Nanoporous (np) metals have generated much interest since they combine several
desirable material characteristics, such as high surface area, mechanical size effects, and …

Aluminum (Al) metal is highly reactive but has excellent corrosion resistance because of the
formation of a self-healing passive oxide layer on the surface. Here, we report that this native …

The workability and ductility of metals usually degrade with exposure to irradiation, hence
the phrase “radiation damage”. Here, we found that helium (He) radiation can actually …

We present a study of the elastic and plastic behavior of nanoporous gold in compression,
focusing on molecular dynamics simulation and inspecting experimental data for verification …

We report the results of computational tensile and compressive tests for model bi-continuous
nanoporous gold structures using atomistic simulations with empirical many-body potentials …

Nanoporous metals made by dealloying are macroscopic network architectures that can
contain∼ 1015 nanoscale struts or ligaments per sample. Their mechanical performance is …

Nanoporous gold (np-Au) differs from its macroporous counterparts through its ligament and
pore length scales, its high relative density, and its very distinct mesoscale cellular …
