Bauschinger effect in thin metal films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Bauschinger effect in thin sputter-deposited Al and Cu films is studied by isothermally deforming the films alternately in tension and compression. Passivated films exhibit an unusual Bauschinger effect with reverse flow already occurring on unloading, while unpassivated films show little or no reverse flows when the film is fully unloaded. 2005 Acta Materialia Inc.

Bauschinger effect in unpassivated freestanding nanoscale metal films
We show experimentally that unpassivated freestanding nanoscale metal films, subjected to uniaxial tension, show substantial Bauschinger effect (BE) during unloading, even at large overall tensile stresses. Aluminum films (thickness 200–400 nm, grain size 200 nm) show BE at stresses as high as 150 MPa and their plastic strain after unloading is often less than 50% of the expected value. In gold...
متن کاملEffect of microstructural heterogeneity on the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline metal films
Conventionally, mean grain size is considered the most critical microstructural parameter in determining the mechanical behavior of pure metals. By systematically controlling the distribution of grain orientations in aluminum films, we show that microstructural heterogeneity alone induces large variation in the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline metal films. Aluminum films with relatively h...
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 کاملPlastic deformation of freestanding thin films: Experiments and modeling
Experimental measurements and computational results for the evolution of plastic deformation in freestanding thin films are compared. In the experiments, the stress–strain response of two sets of Cu films is determined in the plane-strain bulge test. One set of samples consists of electroplated Cu films, while the other set is sputter-deposited. Unpassivated films, films passivated on one side ...

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials are very important inelectronic and optical integrated circuits and their growth is of great importance in thisfield. In this paper we present growth and fabrication of MoS2 (Molibdan DiSulfide)thin films by chemical bath method (CBD). The CBD method of growth makes itpossible to simply grow large area scale of the thin la...
