Mechanical stresses in vapour quenched films of Al and Al rich compounds

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The measurement of mechanical stresses in vapour quenched metal films can give additional structural information. Especially the near absence of stresses yields a sufficient condition for the formation of amorphous structures, since stress contributions due to the crystallite boundary mismatch are present in every micro crystalline film. From this point of view we find that Al films containing more than 25 at.% Ag grow in an amorphous phase whereas films with less than 25 at.% Ag are micro crystalline. The influence of other impurities, especially oxygen, is also investigated. Further evidence is presented for the high superconducting transition temperatures of Al films evaporated from Al2O3 crucibles, which films are micro crystalline, to be due to the presence of Al2O impurities in these films.
