An Case Study on the Lomer-Cottrell Junction in FCC Metals

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle tells us the fundamental limitation of observation in small scale; if the size of a object is very small, there should be an uncertainty of measurements of its exact position and momentum simultaneously. Although the physical characteristic is different, in the case of the mechanical properties of metals in small scale, ”Smaller is more uncertain” phenomena happen when we try to measure mechanical properties of metals.
