Size effects on strength and plasticity of vanadium nanopillars
2010
A size effect study was conducted on [0 0 1] oriented vanadium nanopillars that were synthesized from both a thin film and a bulk crystal. The results indicate that a size-dependent deformation behavior exists for vanadium; the smaller nanopillars displayed discrete strain bursts and higher stresses during deformation. The size effect exponent is found to be 0.79, and the results are compared with previous reports on other body-centered cubic (bcc) metals: Nb, Ta, Mo and W.
