Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of compressive residual stress in polycrystalline thin films.
TL;DR: A model for compressive stress generation during thin film growth is presented in which the driving force is an increase in the surface chemical potential caused by the deposition of atoms from the vapor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamic competition between stress generation and relaxation mechanisms during coalescence of Volmer–Weber thin films

TL;DR: In this article, real-time measurements of stress evolution during the deposition of Volmer-Weber thin films reveal a complex interplay between mechanisms for stress generation and stress relaxation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensions of the Stoney formula for substrate curvature to configurations with thin substrates or large deformations
TL;DR: In this paper, the curvature-strain relastionship was derived for cases in which the Stoney formula relating substrate curvature to mis-match strain in a bonded thin film was relaxed, providing a biasis for interpretation of experimental observations for a broader class of film-substrate configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Origins of Intrinsic Stresses in Volmer–Weber Thin Films
TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental mechanisms that can generate stresses during the growth of Volmer-Weber thin films are reviewed, including surface-stress effects and flux-driven incorporation of excess atoms within grain boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous Pattern Formation on Ion Bombarded Si(001)
TL;DR: In this paper, a spectroscopic light scattering technique was used to monitor periodic ripple evolution on Si(001) during Ar(+) sputtering, and the activation energy for atomic migration on the surface was found to be 1.2+0.1 eV.
