Application of Vickers Indentation Cracking to the Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of very Thin Metallic Films
Abstract:
Radial cracks formed in brittle materials by Vickers indentation were used as nanoscale tensile tests for very thin metallic films coated on the brittle substrates. For the purpose of evaluating the mechanical properties of the films, a fracture-mechanics-based model was proposed, in which the crack opening displacements (COD) of film/substrate crack systems were related with the plastic deformation and failure of the films. The application of this technique to gold film/glass substrate systems indicated the possibility of the measurement of mechanical properties of very thin metallic coatings with a thickness of several 10 nm.
