Interface Stress and an Apparent Negative Poisson's Ratio in Ag/Ni Multilayers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
By use of dc-magnetron sputtering, (111) textured Ag/Ni multilayered thin films were deposited with nominal bilayer repeat lengths ranging from 2 nm to 250 nm. Bulk and interface stresses were obtained from X-ray diffraction and measurements of substrate curvatures. Both in-plane and out-of-plane expansions were observed in the Ni layers, and a compressive interface stress of −2.24±0.21 J/m2 was found. This is in agreement with a previously published result of the interface stress in Ag/Ni thin films which had, as opposed to the present multilayers, a high level of total stress.
