Abstract

Achieving both high strength and ductility is a common goal in the design of fine-grained materials. Here we report that with only ppm level of calcium doping, ductility and strength in ultrafine-grained gold wires can be concurrently improved by 108% and 65% respectively. Preferential segregation of calcium to stacking faults and grain boundaries in gold has reduced stacking fault energy of the system effectively, as shown by TEM and first principle simulation study. Through the modification of stacking fault energy, one can simultaneously increases the strength and ductility of a system.
