Kinetics of Intrinsic Stress in Nanocrystalline Films
Enrique Vasco, María J. Ramírez-Peral, Alfredo Jacas-Rodríguez +1
Conventional polycrystalline materials acquire high levels of intrinsic mechanical stress (ranging from MPa to a few GPa) during preparation and use, but this stress decays quickly…

Understanding the intrinsic compression in polycrystalline films through a mean-field atomistic model
Enrique Vasco, María J. Ramírez-Peral, Enrique G. Michel +1
Mullins' theory predicts the buildup of adatoms during surface diffusion at the edges of grooves where grain boundaries emerge to the surface of a polycrystalline film. However, th…
