Imaging the deformation-induced accumulation of defects in nanoporous gold
Nanoporous gold (NPG) provides a model material for studying small-scale deformation and the mechanical behavior of network solids. We report a transmission electron microscopy study of the defect structure in electron-transparent NPG leaf deformed by rolling. The results confirm that plastic deformation significantly enhances the defect density. Specifically
twins are formed on several sets of crystallographic planes
and their interaction forms Lomer-Cottrell locks. This inhibits dislocation escaping from NPG
thus avoiding the dislocation starvation scenario that is often considered in the ‘smaller is stronger' context of small-scale plasticity. Instead
strain hardening is apparently linked to accumulation and interaction of twins.
