Solid-state dewetting instability in thermally-stable nanocrystalline binary alloys
Jennifer D. Schuler, Guild Copeland, Khalid Hattar +2
Practical applications of nanocrystalline metallic thin films are often limited by instabilities. In addition to grain growth, the thin film itself can become unstable and collapse…

In situ high-cycle fatigue reveals the importance of grain boundary structure in nanocrystalline Cu-Zr
Jennifer D. Schuler, Christopher M. Barr, Nathan M. Heckman +4
Nanocrystalline metals typically have high fatigue strengths, but low resistance to crack propagation. Amorphous intergranular films are disordered grain boundary complexions that…
