Molecular dynamics simulation of nanoindentation on Cu/Ni nanotwinned multilayer films using a spherical indenter

We performed molecular dynamics simulation of nanoindentation on Cu/Ni nanotwinned multilayer films using a spherical indenter, aimed to investigate the effects of hetero-twin interface and twin thickness on hardness. We found that both twinning partial slip (TPS) and partial slip parallel with twin...

Zusammenfassung:We performed molecular dynamics simulation of nanoindentation on Cu/Ni nanotwinned multilayer films using a spherical indenter, aimed to investigate the effects of hetero-twin interface and twin thickness on hardness. We found that both twinning partial slip (TPS) and partial slip parallel with twin boundary (PSPTB) can reduce hardness and therefore should not be ignored when evaluating mechanical properties at nanoscale. There is a critical range of twin thickness λ (~25 Å
