Claims

C1strongest claim

The sample with thicker complexions displayed more homogeneous plasticity and higher damage tolerance; thicker amorphous complexions suppress localization by absorbing defects. This work demonstrates that increasing complexion thickness can be beneficial for stable plastic flow in nanocrystalline alloys, by improving resistance to strain localization and premature failure.

C2weakest assumption

The two model materials differ only in their complexion thickness, with one having a thicker complexion population than the other, and that all observed differences in deformation behavior are caused solely by this thickness variation rather than other uncontrolled microstructural factors.

C3one line summary

Thicker amorphous grain boundary complexions in nanocrystalline Cu-Zr reduce strain localization and promote homogeneous plasticity by absorbing defects during compression.
