Ideal Strength of bcc Molybdenum and Niobium (original) (raw)

Physical Review B, 2002

Abstract

The ideal strength is the stress required to yield or break a perfect crystal. 1, 2 The most important feature of the ideal strength is that it sets an upper bound on the attainable stress. Mobile dislocations, grain boundaries, cracks, and other microstructural features may significantly change the strength of a real crystal, but they can never raise it above its ideal value.
