A continuum model describing the reverse grain-size dependence of the strength of nanocrystalline metals

The breakdown of the Hall-Petch relation in the grain-size strength dependence of nanocrystalline metals has been rationalized by the activation of deformation mechanisms taking place at the grain boundary which compete with crystal plasticity and become dominant when grain sizes are sufficiently sm...
