Title: Deformation Twinning of a Silver Nanocrystal under High Pressure

Abstract

Within a high-pressure environment, crystal deformation is controlled by complex processes such as dislocation motion, twinning, and phase transitions, which change materials' microscopic morphology and alter their properties. Understanding a crystal's response to external stress provides a unique opportunity for rational tailoring of its functionalities. It is very challenging to track the strain evolution and physical deformation from a single nanoscale crystal under high-pressure stress. Here, we report an in situ three-dimensional mapping of morphology and strain evolutions in a single-crystal silver nanocube within a high-pressure environment using the Bragg Coherent Diffractive Imaging (CDI) method. We observed a continuous lattice distortion, followed by a deformation twining process at a constant pressure. The ability to visualize stress-introduced deformation of nanocrystals with high spatial resolution and prominent strain sensitivity provides an important route for interpreting and engineering novel properties of nanomaterials.

Texture evolution via combined slip and deformation twinning in rolled silver-copper eutectic nanocomposite

Journal Article Beyerlein, I; Mara, N; Bhattacharyya, D; ...

In this work, a silver–copper (Ag–Cu) nanocomposite with 200 nm bilayer thickness and eutectic composition was rolled at room temperature and 200 °C to nominal reductions of 75% and higher. Initially the material had a random texture and {1 1 1} bi-metal interface plane. X-ray diffraction measurements show that the Ag and Cu phases developed the same brass-type (or ‘alloy-type’) rolling texture regardless of rolling reduction and temperature. Transmission electron microscopy analyses of the nanostructures before and after rolling suggest that adjoining Ag and Cu layers maintained a cube-on-cube relationship but the interface plane changed after rolling.

Facile synthesis of silver nanocubes with sharp corners and edges in an aqueous solution

Journal Article Zhou, Shan; Li, Jianhua; Gilroy, Kyle; ... - ACS Nano

It remains a challenge to synthesize Ag nanocubes in an aqueous system, although the polyol process was successfully adopted more than one decade ago. Here, we report an aqueous method for the synthesis of Ag nanocubes with an average edge length of 35–95 nm. It involves the formation of AgCl octahedra by mixing CF₃COOAg with cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, followed by the nucleation and growth of Ag nanocrystals in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and FeCl₃. The Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ redox pair is responsible for the removal of multiply twinned seeds through oxidative etching. Here, the Cl^– ions play two critical roles inmore »« less

Deformation of single-crystal clinopyroxenes: 1. Mechanical twinning in diopside and hedenbergite

Journal Article Kolle, J; Blacic, J - J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)

Laboratory deformation experiments were carried out on two single-crystal clinopyroxenes: chrome diopside and hedenbergite. Tests were made in a Griggs solid medium, triaxial, hot creep tester. A confining pressure up 1000 MPa was applied in all experiments. Crystals were deformed at strain rates from 10/sup -4/ to 10/sup -8/ s/sup -1/ and at temperatures from 400/sup 0/C to 1200/sup 0/C. Two orientations of the crystals with respect to the maximum principal compressive stress were tested. The first orientation subjects the (100), (001) and (001), (100) mechanical twinning systems in clinopyroxene to a high resolved shear stress in the sense appropriatemore »« less
