Abstract

Constant-stress molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the mechanical properties of equal concentration Cu-Ni (111) metallic multilayers of repeat lengths 0.4–5.0 nm. Uniaxial stress is applied along the close-packed [110] and perpendicular to the close-packed [112] directions within the (111) plane. The observed elastic modulus does not display a super-modulus effect as observed in experimental bulge tests for the biaxial modulus. However, both the average interlayer spacing and the out-of-plane Poisson ratio display anomalous effects for multilayer repeat lengths below about two nanometers.
