Multi-layer thin films/substrate system subjected to non-uniform misfit strains

Current methodologies used for the inference of thin film stress through curvature measurement are strictly restricted to stress and curvature states that are assumed to remain uniform over the entire film/substrate system. These methodologies have recently been extended to a single layer of thin film deposited on a substrate subjected to the non-uniform misfit strain in the thin film. Such methodologies are further extended to multi-layer thin films deposited on a substrate in the present study. Each thin film may have its own non-uniform misfit strain. We derive relations between the stresses in each thin film and the change of system curvatures due to the deposition of each thin film. The interface shear stresses between the adjacent films and between the thin film and the substrate are also obtained from the system curvatures. This provides the basis for the experimental determination of thin film stresses in multi-layer thin films on a substrate.

Thickness effects in polycrystalline thin films: Surface constraint versus interior constraint

The uniaxial tension behavior of polycrystalline thin films, in which all grain boundaries (GBs) are penetrable by dislocations, is investigated by two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) method with a penetrable dislocation-GB interaction model. In order to study thickness effect on the tensile strength of thin films with and without surface treatment, three types of thin films are comparatively considered, including the thin films without surface treatment, with surface passivation layers (SPLs) of nanometer thickness and with surface grain refinement zones (SGRZs) consisting of nano-sized grains. Our results show that thickness effects and their underlying dislocation mechanisms are quite distinct among different types of thin films. The thicker thin films without surface treatment are stronger than the thinner ones; however, opposite thickness effects are captured in the thin films with SPLs or SGRZs. Moreover, the underlying dislocation mechanisms of the same thickness effects of thin films with SPLs and SGRZs are different. In the thin films with SPLs, the thickness effect is caused by the sharp increase of dislocation density near the film-passivation interface, while it is mainly due to the sharp decrease of dislocation density within the refined surface grains of the thin films with SGRZs. No matter in what type of thin films, thickness effect gradually disappears when the number of grains in the thickness direction is large enough. Our analysis reveals that general mechanism of those thickness effects lies in the competition between the exterior surface-constraint and interior GB-constraint on gliding dislocations.

Pure-shear Failure of Thin Films by Laser-induced Shear Waves

The measurement of mode-dependent thin film interfacial properties is important in evaluating the quality of the interfaces between thin films and substrates. Previous work has proved that tensile and mixed-mode strength of a thin film/substrate interface can be evaluated using a laser-induced thin film spallation technique. To further examine the application regime of this technique and identify the individual roles of the tensile and shear stress in the resulting interfacial failure, a special sample design is adopted in the current work to realize pure-shear loading at the thin film/substrate interface. Our result demonstrates that for sufficiently high stress amplitude, interfacial failure can be induced solely by the in-plane shear stress and the stress can be quantitatively determined from optical interferometric measurements. Together with the previous tensile and mixed-mode studies, a complete picture of the mode-dependent thin film interfacial strength can now be reliably determined using the laser-induced thin film spallation techniques.     

Thermal conductivity and its anisotropy research of germanium thin film

Germanium is an important element in semiconductor and microelectronics industries. Its thermal conductivity is an invariable and isotropic parameter in germanium crystal in the same temperature and its thermal conductivity is difficult to be measured in thin film. In the present paper, using the non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation method and Stillinger–Weber potential model, the normal and tangential thermal conductivity of germanium thin film are studied. There are remarkable anisotropy and size effect of thermal conductivity in normal and tangential direction of germanium thin film. In the theoretical analysis, Boltzmann transport theory is used to analyze the phonon transport in germanium thin film. Theoretical results further demonstrate the anisotropy and size effect of thermal conductivity in thin film, which indicate the significant decrease of phonon mean free path and predominant boundary phonon scattering in germanium thin film.     

Contact dynamics of elasto-plastic thin beams simulated via absolute nodal coordinate formulation

Under the frame of multibody dynamics, the contact dynamics of elasto-plastic spatial thin beams is numerically studied by using the spatial thin beam elements of absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). The inter-nal force of the elasto-plastic spatial thin beam element is derived under the assumption that the plastic strain of the beam element depends only on its longitudinal deformation. A new body-fixed local coordinate system is introduced into the spatial thin beam element of ANCF for efficient con-tact detection in the contact dynamics simulation. The linear isotropic hardening constitutive law is used to describe the elasto-plastic deformation of beam material, and the classical return mapping algorithm is adopted to evaluate the plastic strains. A multi-zone contact approach of thin beams previ-ously proposed by the authors is also introduced to detect the multiple contact zones of beams accurately, and the penalty method is used to compute the normal contact force of thin beams in contact. Four numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the pro-posed elasto-plastic spatial thin beam element of ANCF for flexible multibody system dynamics.

Spectral and directional radiation characteristics of thin-film coated isothermal semitransparent plates

An analysis is presented for prediction the effective spectral, directional radiation characteristics of an isothermal, semitransparent sheet surrounded on both sides by massive dielectrics. This sheet can be coated on one or both sides with one or more optically thin films. Such coated sheets are considered for their applicability as selective cover plates for solar collectors. Extensive computations have been performed to determine what thin film optical properties and film configurations yield the desired selectivity, i.e., high solar transmittance and at the same time high infrared reflectance. Sample results are presented to illustrate the effects of thin film real and imaginary indices of refraction on the spectral reflectance and transmittance of thin film coated glass sheets. Also, directional and polarization effects are considered for selected thin film-plate systems. Some potential candidate materials have been identified and spectral transmittances and reflectances of isothermal plates coated with thin films of these materials have been predicted.     

Investigation into thin films under microgravity

Thin films are interesting for practical as well as for theoretical reasons. As fluid science and materials science in space have been developing rapidly in recent years, investigation into thin films under microgravity conditions grants this classical topic new research ideas and new application possibilities. This paper first gives an overview about the investigation into thin liquid films and its solidification in the past. Then a discussion leads to microgravity in relevance to thin film research; specially, the influence of gravity on the thin film drainage. Some results from our research program are then presented. Finally, the authors tried to point out several possible directions in the research on thin films under microgravity in the near future. in memory of Prof. L. G. Napolitano

基于近场动力学的薄板弯曲大变形及断裂分析

薄板结构仅在较小的荷载下就能产生较大的位移、旋转,甚至引发结构产生裂纹并扩展,进而发生结构整体断裂,因此,建立薄板结构在大变形过程中的裂纹扩展及断裂仿真模型,具有重要的工程实际意义.文章建立了用于薄板结构几何大变形和断裂分析的近场动力学(PD)和连续介质力学(CCM)耦合模型.首先基于冯·卡门假设,采用更新的拉格朗日法得到薄板在几何大变形增量步下的虚应变能密度增量公式,并利用虚功原理和均质化假设求出几何大变形微梁键的本构模型参数;接着分别建立几何大变形薄板PD模型与CCM模型的虚应变能密度增量,并建立了薄板几何大变形PD-CCM耦合模型;最后模拟了薄板结构在横向变形作用下的渐进断裂过程,得到与实验结果高度一致的仿真结果,验证了所提出的几何非线性PD-CCM耦合模型的精度.结果表明:本文所提出的薄板PD-CCM耦合模型具有简单高效,无需考虑材料参数限制和边界效应的特点,可以很好地用于预测薄板结构在几何大变形过程中的局部损伤和结构断裂,有利于薄板结构的断裂安全评价和理论发展.     

Finite width effect of thin-films buckling on compliant substrate: Experimental and theoretical studies

Buckling of stiff thin films on compliant substrates has many important applications ranging from stretchable electronics to precision metrology and sensors. Mechanics plays an indispensable role in the fundamental understanding of such systems. Some existing mechanics models assume plane-strain deformation, which do not agree with experimental observations for narrow thin films. Systematic experimental and analytical studies are presented in this paper for finite-width stiff thin films buckling on compliant substrates. Both experiments and analytical solution show that the buckling amplitude and wavelength increase with the film width. The analytical solution agrees very well with experiments and therefore provides valuable guide to the precise design and control of the buckling profile in many applications. The effect of film spacing is studied via the analytical solutions for two thin films and for periodic thin films.

Bending and buckling of thin strain gradient elastic beams

Bending of strain gradient elastic thin beams is studied adopting Bernoulli-Euler principle. Simple linear strain gradient elastic theory with surface energy is employed. The governing beam equations with its boundary conditions are derived through a variational method. It turns out that new terms are introduced, indicating the importance of the cross-section area in bending of thin beams. Those terms are missing from the existing strain gradient beam theories. Those terms increase highly the stiffness of the thin beam. The buckling problem of the thin beams is also discussed.
