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

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 …

Pushing the internal or external dimensions of metallic alloys down to the nanometer scale
gives rise to strong materials, though most often at the expense of a low ductility and a low …

Recent studies have shown that two-phase nanocomposite materials with semicoherent
interfaces exhibit enhanced strength, deformability, and radiation damage resistance. The …

Experiments have shown that high strength and high plastic stability are difficult to be
simultaneously obtained in crystalline-amorphous layered composites. Here we report a …

We have used magnetron sputtering to deposit magnesium and titanium layers alternately
onto a single-crystal silicon substrate with equal individual layer thickness (h, from 2.5 to 200 …

Nanolaminates are composed of nanoscale-thick alternating layers of different materials and
their properties are dependent on the individual layers, the layer thickness and the …

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 …

Berkovich nanoindentation and uniaxial microcompression tests have been performed on
sputter-deposited crystalline Cu/amorphous Pd0. 77Si0. 23 multilayered films with individual …

Magnetron sputtering technique was employed to synthesize crystalline/amorphous high-
entropy alloy (AHEA) X/AHEA (X= Cu and Ni, AHEA= Fe 20 Co 20 Cr 20 Ni 20 B 10 Si 10) …
