Abstract
Extrapolation of this analysis to crystals of smaller size, particularly to nanocrystals, requires however, a detailed description of the effects which do not play a significant role in standard grain size materials: grain boundary volume, grain boundary sliding, strain localization. A simple scaling analysis reveals the limits of the relevance of this extrapolation. Mechanisms controlling plastic flow of nanocrystals are suggested.
