Chemical inhomogeneity–induced profuse nanotwinning and phase transformation in AuCu nanowires

Abstract Nanosized metals usually exhibit ultrahigh strength but suffer from low homogeneous plasticity. The origin of a strength–ductility trade-off has been well studied for pure metals, but not for random solid solution (RSS) alloys. How RSS alloys accommodate plasticity and whether they can achi...
