Nanostructured Cu-Ta alloys show promise as high-strength materials in part due to their limited grain growth. In the present study, we elucidate the role of Ta on the transition from deformation twinning to dislocation-mediated slip mechanisms in nanocrystalline Cu through atomistic simulations and transmission electron microscopy characterization. In particular, computed generalized stacking fault energy curves show that as Ta content increases there is a shift from twinning to slip-dominated deformation mechanisms. Furthermore, heterogeneous twinnability from microstructural defects decreases with an increase in Ta. The computed effect of Ta on plasticity is consistent with the HRTEM observations. [GRAPHICS] IMPACT STATEMENT We show for the first time using atomistic simulations and TEM that, similar to grain size, the Ta nano-particles can be used to tailor the governing deformation mechanisms in NC-alloys.
