Funded Activity Summary

Deformation and Adhesion of Thin Solid Films. Knowledge of the deformation mechanisms and adhesion of thin films on solid substrates is a major necessity for their mechanical property optimisation and commercialisation. The deformation mechanisms will be investigated by; 1) Nano-indentation with small spherical indenters, and 2) Transmission electron microscopy of focused ion beam milled cross-sections of such impressions. Adhesion will be evaluated using three techniques; 1) Tensile extension, 2) Nano-, and 3) Macro-indentation again with spherical indenters. In addition numerical modelling will compliment the observations of the film cracking and delamination about the impresion.
