Abstract | Surface triple junctions (STJs), i.e., the termination lines of grain boundaries at solid surface, are the common line defects in polycrystalline materials. Compared with planar defects such as grain boundaries and surfaces, STJ lines are usually overlooked in a material's strengthening although abundant atoms may reside at STJs in many nanomaterials. In this study, by in situ compression of coarse-grained and nanocrystalline nanoporous gold samples in an electrochemical environment, the effect of STJs on the strength of nanoporous gold was successfully decoupled from grain-boundary and surface effects. We found that the strength of nanoporous gold became sensitive to STJ modification when ligament size was decreased to below similar to 100 nm, indicating that STJs started to influence ligament strength at sub-100 nm scale. This STJ effect was associated with the emission of dislocations from STJs during plastic deformation. Our findings strongly suggest that the structure and chemistry at STJs should be considered in understanding the mechanical response of sub-100 nm scale materials. |
