Abstract
Pushing the limits of elastic deformation in nanowires subjected to stress is important for the design and performance of nanoscale devices from elastic strain engineering. Particularly, introducing nanoscale twins has proved effective in rising the tensile strength of metals. However, attaining ideal elastic strains in nanotwinned materials remains challenging, because nonuniform twin sizes locally affect the yielding behavior. Here, using in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy tensile testing of nanotwinned [111]-oriented gold nanowires, we report direct lattice-strain measurements that demonstrate a strong Hall-Petch type relationship in the elastic strain limit up to 5.3%, or near the ideal theoretical limit, as the twin size is decreased below 3 nm. It is found that the largest twin in nanowires with irregular twin sizes controls the slip nucleation and yielding processes in pure tension, which is in agreement with earlier atomistic simulations. Continuous hardening behavior without loss of strength or softening is observed in nanotwinned single-crystalline gold nanowires, which differs from the behaviors of bulk nanocrystalline and nanotwinned-nanocrystalline metals. These findings are of practical value for the use of nanotwinned metallic and semiconductor nanowires in strain-engineered functional microdevices.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
