Size-dependent mechanical deformation mechanisms in sub-20 nm lead crystals
Mechanical properties of small-volume metals critically affect the reliability and performance of nano-devices. Under mechanical forces, behavior of small-volume metals differs considerably from that of their bulks, but the knowledge of how the feature size give rise to the unique characteristics is currently insuf...
