Detwinning-induced reduction in ductility of twinned copper nanowires

Abstract: Detwinning is a unique deformation mechanism of nanotwinned metals with twin lamellae thickness down to a few nanometers. In this work we investigate the impact of detwinning mechanism on the tensile ductility of twinned Cu nanowires containing high density of parallel twin boundaries by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Simulation results show that the fracture strain of twinned Cu nanowires has a strong dependence on twin boundary spacing, resulting from the competition between individual deformation … Show more

“…The curves are superposed in the elastic region, indicating that TBs have no influence on the elastic modulus of W NWs. This results is consistent with those reported in twinned Cu and InP NWs 25,34 . The elastic modulus of 360 GPa of W NWs agrees well with that of 362 GPa reported in the literature 35 .…”

“…It is clearly seen from Figure 3b that there are two mechanical TBs inclining to each other formed in the template on the left side. The formation of mechanical TBs, i.e., deformation twinning, is an important deformation mode of 1D nanostructures with large surface-to-volume ratio under external load [23-25]. TB is a special kind of planar defects whose lattice structures exhibit mirror symmetries across the boundary.…”

“…[11][12][13][14] Zhang et al concluded that the distance between twin boundaries is smaller, the stress of the nanowires in the plastic deformation zone is lower. [15] Cao et al studied the deformation mechanism of twinned Cu nanowires in the <111> crystal orientation and found that the yield stress increases with the decrease in the twin boundary spacing. [16] Ni-Co alloys are more and more widely used in many industries.…”
