Abstract

Superior structural properties of materials are generally desired in harsh environments, such as elevated temperatures, high rates of impact, and radiation. Composite nanolaminates, built with alternating stacks of crystalline layers, each with nanoscale individual thickness, are proving to exhibit many of these target properties. In principle, the nanolaminate concept can be applied to any two-phase, bimetallic system; however, for a number of reasons, they have been limited to combinations of metals with a cubic crystal structure. There is growing demand to increase the number of advanced materials systems containing noncubic metals, since these metals bear several desirable intrinsic properties. In this article, we cover recent modeling and experimental efforts to understand the complexity in structure, mechanisms, and behavior of noncubic/cubic nanolaminates. We hope this article will facilitate and encourage future studies in this promising area.
