Abstract

Freestanding nanocrystalline Cu/amorphous Cu-Zr laminate was produced by a sputter deposition method. The material possesses a very high yield and tensile strength while still retaining a reasonable tensile elongation. The high strength properties of the multilayer are attributed to the fact that the amorphous layers can be elastically stretched to an appreciable degree of strain without fracturing. This allows the full utilization of the high strength property of the amorphous phase.
