Abstract
It now is possible to synthesize polycrystalline metals made up of grains that average less than 100 nm in size. Such nanocrystalline metals contain a significant volume fraction of interfacial regions separated by nearly-perfect crystals, a microstructure characterized by a significant high strength. This paper reports on a dislocation based deformation mechanism gained from insights obtained by atomistic computer simulations, followed by a discussion of some experimental observations.
