Abstract

The specimen-size dependence of yield stress of nanocrystalline copper with average grain size (d) of 360 nm has been investigated through uniaxial compression tests of micrometer-size pillars fabricated via the focused ion beam method. The yield stress decreases with the decrease in the micropillar size while the yield stress is almost constant for larger micropillars. The critical specimen size (t) is approximately 12.5 μm, correspoinding to the critical (t/d) value, (t/d)*, of 35, which is much larger than that for coarse-grained copper polycrystals.
