Abstract

Grain growth in nanocrystalline Ni has been simulated by molecular dynamics. The simulations show the creation of a high density of twin boundaries during the growth as well as the formation of vacancies consistent with recent experimental observations. The growth follows parabolic kinetics with the diameter increasing with the square root of time consistent with behavior of conventional scale metals but in disagreement with prior simulation results.
