Abstract

Strain measurement by laser diffraction was used in tensile testing of free-standing Ag/Cu multilayered thin films with repeat lengths between 3 nm and 3 μm. The mean value, for all the films, of the Young modulus was 83.1± 1.2 GPa, and of the Poisson ratio was 0.377±0.015. No variation with bilayer repeat length, and hence no “supermodulus” effect, was observed.
