This work reports on irradiation-induced creep (IIC) measured onnanolaminate (Cu-W and Ni-Ag) and nanocrystalline alloys (Cu-W)at room temperature using a combination of heavy ion irradiation and nanopillar compression performed concurrentlyinsituin a transmission electron microscope.Appreciable IICis observed in multilayers with 50 nm layer thicknesses at high stress, ≈½ the yield strength, but not in multilayers with only 5 nm layer thicknesses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
