Abstract:
Structure evolution of Ag/Ni super-lattice films with different layer thickness during heating have been observed by TEM. All deposited super-lattice films show the lattice strains caused by Ag/Ni interfacial misfit in different extend. When heating, the strains tend to be relaxed. For the sample with 5 atomic planes in each layer, when temperature reached 250 °C, the new grains were formed and grown among the matrix. Strain relaxation and grain growth were proceeded simultaneously until about 350 °C. At temperature near 400 °C, a drastic grain coarsening was occurred and it completely destroyed the layered periodical structure of the film at about 450 °C. With increasing layer thickness, the temperatures for the formation of new grains, grain growth and coarsening get relatively higher and the state of grains preferential orientation became more stable. It indicates that the thermal stability of the structure of the film be enhanced. It is the grain coarsening, which finally destroy the layered periodical structure of the film.
