one of the ultimate goals of materials engineers [1,2]. Recent efforts have shown that metallic multilayers com-posed of constituent metals, either with the same lattice and engineering and mechanical engineering. Potential applications include X-ray optics, hydrogen storage, wear and thermal resistance coating, and microelectromechani-cal systems (MEMS) [8–11]. The combination of two or more components with fine-tuned lamellar arrangement can now be fulfilled an
