The present study is initiated with the specific objective of observing, both during and after deformation in Nickel Crystal by TEM experiments, the mechanisms of the deformation and fracture using state of the art experimental tools in high purity, fully dense nanocrystalline metals with a narrow range of gain sizes. The goal is to develop a strategy to reach the rational design of nanomaterials i.e. nanocrystal Nickel with modelled and controlled...
