摘要
Size-dependent softening characteristics of electrodeposited solid core, hollow, C-shaped, and x-shaped nano crystalline (nc) nickel pillars with outer diameters of similar to 520 nm were investigated by using uniaxial micro compression techniques. Flow stress results show that only complex-shaped pillars with an average grain size of similar to 9.4 nm prepared with saccharine containing electrolytes soften with decreasing sample sizes and volume to -surface area ratios. Interestingly, large grain (similar to 18.2 nm) specimens prepared with saccharine-free electrolytes do not exhibit this softening behavior. Size-dependent softening may be due to the enhanced grain boundary mediated deformation in the small grain pillars caused by segregation of the electrolyte additives at the grain boundaries.
