Abstract. The surface displacement of the indented layered composite has been observed by AFM and TEM, and the elastic recovery due to the indentation residual stress is compared with the prediction of the triangular dislocation model. At the shoulders of the indentation, the upheaval of Al-4wt%Cu film is smoothly connected, whereas that of Al 2 Cu film is localized as the intensive sheared displacement. The magnitude of the elastic recovery in film/substrate composite is larger than the predicted value, which might be attributed to the repulsive interaction between the glide dislocations and the hard Si substrate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
