The study of heterostructured materials (HSMs) answered one of the most pressing
questions in the metallurgical field:“is it possible to greatly increase both the strength and the …

Micro-and nanomechanical testing has seen a rapid development over the last decade with
miniaturized test rigs and MEMS-based devices providing access to the mechanical …

Heterostructured materials are an emerging class of materials with superior performances
that are unattainable by their conventional homogeneous counterparts. They consist of …

Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

This article reviews recent basic research on two classes of twins: growth twins and
deformation twins. We focus primarily on studies that aim to understand, via experiments …

The mechanical behavior of nanolaminates is dominated by interfaces that act as sources,
barriers, and preferred sites for storage and dynamic recovery of glide dislocations. In this …

This article overviews several areas of research into architectured materials which, in the
opinion of the authors, are most topical and promising. The classes of materials considered …

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 …

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 …
