Journal ArticleDOI
Size effects in Al nanopillars: Single crystalline vs. bicrystalline
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the mechanical behavior of bicrystalline aluminum nano-pillars under uniaxial compression and revealed size effects, a stochastic stress-strain signature, and strain hardening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of enhanced strengths and Bauschinger effect in conformally passivated copper nanopillars as revealed by dislocation dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used uniaxially compressed 200 nm diameter Cu nanopillars with conformally coated surfaces to investigate the contribution of dislocation multiplication, pinning and pile-up processes to the experimentally observed enhancement in pillar strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cold-temperature deformation of nano-sized tungsten and niobium as revealed by in-situ nano-mechanical experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, an in-situ cryogenic nanomechanical system was developed to study small-scale mechanical behavior of materials at low temperatures, including nano-sized plasticity and intrinsic lattice resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local relative density modulates failure and strength in vertically aligned carbon nanotubes.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that a microstructural figure-of-merit, the effective relative density, can be used to quantify and predict the mechanical response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compressive response of vertically aligned carbon nanotube films gleaned from in situ flat-punch indentations
Siddhartha Pathak,Nisha Mohan,Parisa Pour Shahid Saeed Abadi,Samuel Graham,Baratunde A. Cola,Julia R. Greer +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the mechanical behavior of vertically aligned carbon nanotube films, grown on Si substrates using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition, subjected to in situ large displacement (up to 70 μm) flat-punch indentations.
