Abstract

Molecular dynamics computer simulation of nanocrystalline Ni and Cu with mean grain sizes ranging from 5 to 20 nm show that grain boundaries in nanocrystalline metals have structures similar to most grain boundaries found in conventional polycrystalline materials. Moreover, the excess enthalpy density in grain boundaries and triple junctions appears to be independent of grain in both, computer generated and experimental measured samples. Simulations of deformation under constant uniaxial stress demonstrate a change in deformation mechanism as function of grain size: at the smallest grain sizes all deformation is accommodated in the grain boundaries, at higher grain sizes, intragrain deformation is observed
