Indentation Behavior of Multilayer Al/SiC Thin Films
… such as hardness and Youngs modulus, of bulk and thin film materials. Multilayer thin films are an important subset of materials in which alternating layers of two or more materials are deposited on a substrate. Fabrication of multilayer films can result in imperfect layer geometry, particularly …
