Transition from dislocation controlled plasticity to grain boundary mediated shear in nanolayered aluminum/palladium thin films

Nanolayered materials consisting of alternate layers of two different metals offer enhanced mechanical properties such as hardness but the strengthening mechanism is not well understood when the bilayer thickness approaches a few nanometers. Here, we report on the uniaxial compression of aluminum/pa...
