Abstract:Crystal-glass nanocomposites with the synergy of high strength and exceptional ductility are promising for future applications in micro-electromechanical systems. Deformation behaviors of crystal-glass nanocomposites are governed by the formation and propagation of their plastic deformation carriers, namely, dislocations in the crystalline phase and strain-activated atomic clusters (e.g., shear transformation zones and shear bands) in the glassy phase. Yet, it is challenging to unveil the size effect of a glas… Show more
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.
