Ultra-large elongation and dislocation behavior of nano-sized tantalum single crystals

Although extensive simulations and experimental investigations have been carried out, the plastic deformation mechanism of body-centered-cubic (BCC) metals is still unclear. With our home-made device, the in situ tensile tests of single crystal tantalum (Ta) nanoplates with a lateral dimension of ∼2...
