Surface and Interface Stress Effects in Thin Films
Surface and interface stresses in solids are defined and their role in the thermodynamics of solids is presented. A discussion concerning the physical meaning of these quantities is given, along with a review of selected theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. It is shown that for a solid phase with one or more of its dimensions smaller than about 10 nm, the surface and interfac...
متن کاملInterface and Surface Effects on the Glass Transition in Thin Polystyrene Films
Lifetime analysis of positronium annihilating in nanometer voids is used to study the thermal expansion behavior of thin, Si-supported polystyrene films near the glass transition temperature Tg. A reduction in void volume expansion is correlated with a reduction in the apparent Tg as film thickness decreases. Our results can be fitted using a three-layer model incorporating a 50 Å constrained l...
متن کاملStress-Driven Surface Topography Evolution in Nanocrystalline Al Thin Films
In their as-fabricated state, nanocrystalline (nc) materials, consisting of individual grains or crystallites with diameters less than 100 nm, are systems that exist far from equilibrium. The large volume fraction of grain boundaries (GB) present in these materials contains considerable excess free energy, which provides a large driving force for grain growth. Grain growth in nc materials has b...

15 صفحه اولStress effects in sol-gel derived ferroelectric thin films
Residual stress development during processing of sol-gel derived ferroelectric thin films influences electromechanical properties and performance. The present work investigates the effects of stress on field-induced polarization switching in ferroelectric Pb~Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ~PZT! ~52/48! thin films. Film response is measured as a function of externally applied mechanical stress using a double-b...
