Graphene-boundary strengthening mechanism in Cu/graphene nanocomposites: A molecular dynamics simulation
Reducing grain size into nanoscale could effectively enhance the strength of crystalline metals, while there is a critical grain size below which softening occurs as grain size further decreases. This strengthening-to-softening changeover accompanies simultaneous deformation mechanism transition fro...
