Spontaneous formation of sub-4 nm nanocrystalline alloy via polymorphic phase transformation
new phase-transformation-induced path to spontaneous formation of extreme nanograin structure is reported.
In-situ-heating-mode-
microscopy exhibited a substantial grain-growth of Cu

. During cooling
the grain-growth continued
but it spontaneously switched to grain-refinement mode on phase transformation through ∼180 °C from
η

to

ending up with an extremely small nanograin size of ∼2.5 nm. The cooling cycling always restores the nanograin size regardless of thermal exposure history
making this to be the first demonstration to
stabilize
the nanograin with its own spontaneous behavior. The Young’s Modulus was significantly reduced by ∼×3
and the elongation was remarkably increased by ∼×8 to ∼9%.
