… nanowires goes up as twin spacing goes down. This article shows that twin boundaries do
not always strengthen nanowires… whether twin boundaries strengthen nanowires depends on …

… properties of metal nanowires could be controlled by tailoring internal growth twin structures.
… This study demonstrates that the mechanical properties of metal nanowires can be …

… Metallic nanowires (NWs) with twin boundaries (TBs) running parallel to the NW length
direction exhibit unusual plastic strain recovery owing to the interaction of dislocations with TBs. …

… of a twin (the yield stress). The plateau stress–strain region that defines the twin propagation
stage (stage 2) appears due to the stress-induced propagation of the twin boundary along …

… both classes of nanowire studied with … nanowires showed no evidence for any characteristic
deformation structures associated with the twin boundaries running parallel to the nanowire …

… behavior induced by twin boundary is still a controversy and there are many unsolved
problems about the role of the twin boundary. For example, can twin boundary assist the plasticity …

… Metal nanowires tend to behave stiffer less than 60–100 nm. (3, 4, 6) Besides experimental
investigations, theoretical analyses and atomistic simulations also reached two opposite …

… of twin boundaries. Besides the bottom-up synthesis approaches mentioned above, metal
nanowires … free-standing metal thin films. All of the methods mentioned above generally create …

… The metallic nanowires used in this work were fabricated by electrodepositing metals (gold,
silver, and … A twin boundary across the wire is clearly present; the end portion of the tip is a …

… Below Tc, the wires partially reorient via spatially distributed twinning from h100i to h110i=f111g,
where twin boundaries in the nanowire separate h100i and h110i=f111g single crystals…
