Review on High-Throughput Micro-Combinatorial Characterization of Binary and Ternary Layers towards Databases

“…Among their other advantageous mechanical properties, bulk AlCu alloys are also known for their special aging behavior [34], which has been well studied and documented [35]. However, in the form of thin films, this special alloy is hardly discussed and only in cases with low Cu concentrations [36,37]. To study the structural and mechanical properties of the AlCu thin film system in a wide compositional range, Draissia et al [38,39] deposited several thin film samples using cathodic radiofrequency (RF) sputtering.…”
