Stepwise work hardening induced by individual grain boundary in Cu bicrystal micropillars

Vast experiments have demonstrated that the external specimen size makes a large difference in the deformation behavior of crystalline materials. However, as one important kind of internal planar defects, the role of grain boundary (GB) in small scales needs to be clarified in light of the scarce an...
