Abstract

Bulk Cu foils have been synthesized via magnetron sputtering with an average twin spacing of 5 nm. Twin interfaces are of {l_brace}111{r_brace} type and normal to the growth direction. Growth twins with such high twin density and preferred orientation have never been observed in elemental metals. These Cu foils exhibited tensile strengths of 1.2 GPa, a factor of 3 higher than that reported earlier for nanocrystalline Cu, average uniform elongation of 1%-2%, and ductile dimple fracture surfaces. This work provides a route for the synthesis of ultrahigh-strength, ductile pure metals via control of twin spacing and twin orientation in vapor-deposited materials.

Thermal stability of sputter-deposited 330 austenitic stainless-steel thin films with nanoscale growth twins

Zhang, X. ; Misra, A. ; Wang, H. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We have explored the thermal stability of nanoscale growth twins in sputter-deposited 330 stainless-steel (SS) films by vacuum annealing up to 500 deg. C. In spite of an average twin spacing of only 4 nm in the as-deposited films, no detectable variation in the twin spacing or orientation of twin interfaces was observed after annealing. An increase in the average columnar grain size was observed after annealing. The hardness of 330 SS films increases after annealing, from 7 GPa for as-deposited films to around 8 GPa for annealed films, while the electrical resistivity decreases slightly after annealing.

Influence of deposition rate on the formation of growth twins in sputter-deposited 330 austenitic stainless steel films

Zhang, X. ; Anderoglu, O. ; Misra, A. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The authors have studied the influence of deposition rate on the formation of growth twins in sputter-deposited 330 austenitic stainless steel thin films. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the volume fraction of twinned grains increases with increasing deposition rate, whereas the average columnar grain size and twin spacing stay approximately unchanged. These experimental results agree qualitatively with their analytical model that predicts deposition rate dependent formation of growth twins. The film hardness increases monotonically with increasing volume fraction of twinned grains.

Growth and structural characterization of highly oriented sputter-deposited (111), (110), and (100) Co/Cu superlattices

Smith, D.J. ; Modak, A.R. ; Rabedeau, T.A. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Highly oriented, sputter-deposited (111), (110), and (100) Co/Cu superlattices have been grown simultaneously on substrates of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} (sapphire), MgO (110), and (100), respectively, using thin seed layers of Pt or Pd deposited at {approximately}500{degree}C. High-resolution electron microscopy and x-ray scattering demonstrate that the films are epitaxial and of excellent crystallinity. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
