Making metals linear super-elastic with ultralow modulus and nearly zero hysteresis

We demonstrate a novel materials design approach to achieve unprecedented properties by utilizing nanoscale chemo-mechanical coupling. In particular, by using computer simulations we demon- strate how to engineer ultralow modulus (12 GPa), nearly hysteresis- free, and linear super-elastic metals wit...
