Abstract EN

We investigate the compressive yielding of Ni single crystals by performing atomistic simulations with the sample diameters in the range of 5 nm ∼ 40 nm.

Remarkable effects of sample sizes on the yield strength are observed in the nanopillars with two different orientations.

The deformation mechanisms are characterized by massive dislocation activities within a single slip system and a nanoscale deformation twining in an octal slip system.

A dislocation dynamics-based model is proposed to interpret the size and temperature effects in single slip-oriented nanopillars by considering the nucleation of incipient dislocations.
