摘要:

我们报告惊人的屈服强度,高达四分之一的理论强度的银,记录在微压缩测试的初始位错自由银微米和纳米立方体从多步种子生长过程中合成。屈服时发生的这些高强度和大规模应变爆发是原始样品的初始无位错单晶结构的结果,原始样品通过位错的自发成核屈服。当原始样品暴露于聚焦离子束以制造支柱,然后压缩时,不会发生剧烈的应变爆发,并且它们的屈服强度是原始样品的四分之一。无论测试前样品的缺陷状态如何,尺寸效应都很明显,其中屈服强度随着样品尺寸的减小而增加。由于位错饥饿和单臂源机制不能解释的尺寸效应的屈服强度在无位错样品,我们调查的位错成核机制控制的尺寸效应,通过仔细的实验观察和分子静力学模拟。我们发现,内在或外在的对称性破坏者,如表面缺陷,边缘圆度,外部样品的形状,或高空位浓度可以影响位错成核,从而有助于在最初的无位错样品的屈服强度的尺寸效应。

英文摘要:

We report phenomenal yield strengths, up to one fourth of the theoretical strength of silver, recorded in microcompression testing of initially dislocation free silver micro and nanocubes synthesized from a multistep seed growth process. These high strengths and the massive strain bursts that occur upon yield are results of the initially dislocation free single crystal structure of the pristine samples that yield through spontaneous nucleation of dislocations. When the pristine samples are exposed to a focused ion beam to fabricate pillars and then compressed, the dramatic strain burst does not occur, and they yield at a quarter of the strength of their pristine counterparts. Regardless of the defect state of the samples prior to testing, a size effect is apparent, where the yield strength increases as the sample size decreases. Since dislocation starvation and the single arm source mechanisms cannot explain a size effect on yield strength in dislocation free samples, we investigate the dislocation nucleation mechanisms controlling the size effect through careful experimental observations and molecular statics simulations. We find that intrinsic or extrinsic symmetry breakers such as surface defects, edge roundness, external sample shape, or a high vacancy concentration can influence dislocation nucleation, and thus contribute to the size effect on yield strength in initially dislocation-free samples.
