Size effects and idealized dislocation microstructure at small scales: Predictions of a Phenomenological model of Mesoscopic Field Dislocation Mechanics: Part I (2005, background): “…predicted by theory and experimental observations of drastically different behavior, with respect to size effects, of free standing polycrystalline gold films below 1µm thickness under nominally homogeneous deformation (Espinosa et al., 2004), as compared to films of thickness above 1µm .”
Plastic deformation of freestanding thin films: Experiments and modeling (2006, background): “…the mechanical properties of thin films by a variety of techniques, e.g. (Vlassak and Nix, 1992; Shen et al., 1998; Hommel and Kraft, 2001; Espinosa et al., 2003, 2004; Dehm et al., 2003; Lou et al., 2003; Phillips et al., 2004; Florando and Nix, 2005; Xiang et al., 2005), and to modeling…”
Mechanical properties of ultrahigh-strength gold nanowires (2005, background): “These yield strengths are substantially greater than the 55–200 MPa (actual value dependent on history and heat treatment) reported for bulk A”
Strain Measurements of Silicon Dioxide Microspecimens by Digital Imaging Processing (2006, methodology): “Unique strain measurement techniques developed especially for microspecimens include digital image correlation [14], in-plane interferometry (the ISDG) [7], AFM imaging [11], and out-of-plane interferometry [12].”
