Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the plastic deformation, stress and chip formation of scratched multi-layered films. The results showed that stick–slip and work-hardening behaviors were observed during the scratching process. There was a pile-up of amorphous disordered debris atoms and shear rupture ahead of the probe and a clear side-flow on the lateral sides of the probe when the probe moved forward. Both the plastic energy and the adhesion increased with an increase in the scratching depth. The glide band of the interface was on the {111}?110? slip system with a maximum width of the glide band of about 1 nm. The strain energy stored in the deformed structure caused a higher stress region in the material in front of the tool edge, with a maximum stress of about 10 GPa. In addition, the mechanical response and thermal softness phenomenon are discussed

Published date: 2008
Additional Information: Multi-layered film nanostructures have received a lot of attention for applications such as in high-density storage systems, magnetic media, protective coatings and microsystem technologies. This study uses MD simulations to evaluate the processing and mechanical properties of multi-layered films at different temperatures and depths. The effect of the interface of layered films is discussed. In addition, the scratch mechanism, stress distribution and plastic energy of the films are also investigated.
