Nanoporous gold (NPG) is a brittle, three-dimensional, random structure of Au with nanometer scale open porosity that is made by dealloying Au/Ag alloys in acid. In this work, Young's modulus of NPG with controlled porosity variation between 3 and 40 nm is determined by mechanical testing of similar to 100 nm thick, free standing, large-grained, stress-free films of NPG using a buckling-based method [C. Stafford , Nat. Mater. 3, 545 (2005)]. Results showing a dramatic rise in the effective Young's modulus of NPG with decreasing ligament size, especially below 10 nm are presented, and possible reasons for this behavior are discussed.
