摘要: We use molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the transition with decreasing grain size from a dislocation- grain-boundary-based deformation mechanism in nanocrystalline fcc metals. Our reveal that this crossover is accompanied by pronounced mechanical behaviour of material; namely, at where occurs (the 'strongest size'), strain rate under tensile elongation goes through minimum. This simultaneous both and corresponding offers an explanation for experimentally observed yield strength materials, Hall-Petch hardening 'inverse Hall-Petch' softening.
