DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.0c04327
Abstract: Controlled plastic forming of nanoscale metallic objects by applying mechanical load is a challenge, since defect-free nanocrystals usually yield at near theoretical shear strength, followed by stochastic dislocation avalanches that lead to catastrophic failure or… read more here.
