Understanding the mechanisms of deformation of nanocrystalline (nc) materials is critical to the design of micro and nano devices and to develop materials with superior fracture strength and wear resistance for applications in new energy technologies. In this project we focused on understanding the following plastic deformation processes described in detail in the following sections: 1. Plastic strain recovery, 2. Effect of microstructural variability on the yield stress of nc metals, and 3. The role of partial and extended full dislocations in plastic deformation of nc metals.
