Size quantization effects in thin film Casimir interaction
We investigate the role of size quantization in the vacuum force between metallic films of nanometric thickness. The force is calculated by the Lifshitz formula with the film dielectric tensor derived from the one-electron energies and wavefunctions under the assumption of a constant potential inside the film and a uniform distribution of the positive ion charge. The results show that quantizat...
متن کاملQuantum Size Effects in Thin Film Stabilities and Properties
Recently, it has been shown that the size quantization of itinerant electrons in an ultra thin metal film plays an important role in the early formation stages and kinetic stabiliy of thin films. This Quantum Size Effect(QSE) also brings about a lot of new interesting physical and chemical properties of thin film. In this paper, I will give a brief introduction to the mechanism of QSE and talk ...
متن کاملBauschinger and size effects in thin-film plasticity
We present an experimental investigation of the effects of surface passivation, film thickness and grain size on the plastic behavior of freestanding Cu thin films. The stress–strain curves of the films are measured using the plane–strain bulge test. Films with a passivation layer on one or both surfaces have an offset yield stress that increases significantly with decreasing film thickness; th...
متن کاملCopper–titanium thin film interaction
Interaction between 5 lm thick copper and 50 nm thin titanium films was investigated as a function of annealing temperature and time using MeV He Rutherford backscattering, X-ray diffraction and dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry. Samples were made by depositing 10 nm of titanium on a PECVD silicon oxynitride, followed by 50 nm of titanium nitride and 50 nm of titanium in the said order. I...
متن کاملAu Interaction with CeO2 (111) Thin Film
The interaction of gold with CeO2(111) layer was investigated with photeelectron spectroscopy (PES) and by means of resonant photoelectron spectroscopy (RPES). Gold was deposited in steps onto a 1.5 nm thick CeO2(111) layer, epitaxially grown on a Cu(111) substrate. The RPES showed a partial Ce → Ce reduction, observed as a resonant enhancement of the 4f level of the Ce species. This can be exp...
