Effects of Stress Induced by the Underlying Layers on the Micro-Structures and Characteristic Phase Transformation Temperatures of Sputtered TiNi Thin Films
Abstract:The micro-structures and the phase transformation temperatures of sputtered titanium-nickel (TiNi) thin films, both free-standing and attached on different underlying multi-layer substrates have been studied. Differences in the micro-structures, such as the lattice constants and the relative concentrations of TiNi, Ti2Ni and TiNi3 phases, were observed (1) among the free-standing and the attached films, (2) among the films attached on different underlying multi-layers and (3) among films with different relativ… Show more
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.
