Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Metals

Abstract

This chapter has two principal sections. The first addresses single-phase polycrystalline metals and alloys and the second addresses two-phase multilayered thin films comprised of alternating A-B layers. In the former, nanostructured material is created by shrinking grain size to the nm scale. In the latter, it is created by shrinking the thickness of individual A and B layers to the nm scale. In many cases, the layers are polycrystalline. Thus, we explore the mechanical properties of crystalline metals that are packed with high densities of grain boundaries (in the polycrystalline case) and also interfaces (in the multilayer case).
