Publication Date: May 2023
Keywords: Advanced Materials, Fundamentals, Mechanical Properties, Heterostructured Materials, Metals and Alloys
Scope: Heterostructured materials are characterized by large differences (>100%) in mechanical properties among heterostructured zones. The large mechanical incompatibility leads to strong inter-zone interactive coupling, which produces a superior combination of strength and ductility that are deemed impossible according to conventional understanding in materials science and textbooks. This topic will feature invited papers only.
