Theoretical simulation of the anisotropic phases of antiferromagnetic thin films

We simulate antiferromagnetic thin films. Dipole-dipole and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions as well as uniaxial and quadrupolar anisotropies are taken into account. Various phases unfold as the corresponding parameters J, D, and C, as well as the temperature T and the number n of film layer, vary. We find i how the strength of the anisotropy arising from dipole-dipole interactions varie...

Deformation Behavior of Thin Lubricant Films at Elevated Pressure

In situ deformation of thin films on substrates.

Metallic thin-film plasticity has been widely studied by using the difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the film and the underlying substrate to induce stress. This approach is commonly known as the wafer curvature technique, based on the Stoney equation, which has shown that thinner films have higher yield stresses. The linear increase of the film strength as a function ...

Plastic deformation of freestanding thin films: Experiments and modeling

Experimental measurements and computational results for the evolution of plastic deformation in freestanding thin films are compared. In the experiments, the stress–strain response of two sets of Cu films is determined in the plane-strain bulge test. One set of samples consists of electroplated Cu films, while the other set is sputter-deposited. Unpassivated films, films passivated on one side ...
