Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

Mounting evidence is pointing to some emerging novel behaviors of metals with ultrafine-
grain (UFG) and/or nanocrystalline (NC) microstructures. One such novel behavior is related …

Bulk nanostructured (NS) materials have relatively high strength but disappointingly low
tensile ductility (elongation to failure) at ambient temperatures.[1–4] The limited ductility of …

Introducing a bimodal grain-size distribution has been demonstrated an efficient strategy for
fabricating high-strength and ductile metallic materials, where fine grains provide strength …

With the miniaturization of a solid, effects of surface strain and quantum trapping become
increasingly important in determining its properties. As a result, low-dimensional materials …

We report a procedure to fabricate nanostructured Ni films via programmed electrochemical
deposition from a choline-chloride-based ionic liquid at a high temperature of 90° C. Three …

Single-crystalline Ag dendrites are grown on a Ni/Cu substrate by using a simple
templateless, surfactantless electrochemical technique. Controlling only the applied …

Two experimental techniques of nanoindentation and tensile testing were used at room
temperature to investigate the strain rate sensitivity of an electrodeposited Ni with a mean …

Nanocrystalline metals usually exhibit limited ductility due to catastrophic shear fracture
caused by the preferential formation of a few premature shear bands during tensile …

Solid solution strengthening by carbon and sulfur in bulk nanocrystalline Ni was studied by
electrodeposition and first-principles calculations. Bulk nanocrystalline Ni with a carbon …
