What is Elastic Properties of Thin Silver Films: Hexagonal Model and Influence of Corrugation Effects about?
Silver films on a glass substrate with a thickness range of 34-900 nm were examined using Brillouin spectroscopy. The surface plasmon resonance was used to determine the thickness of the thinner films very accurately and to enhance the Brillouin signal. With a special scattering setup, the Rayleigh and first Sezawa mode could be observed over a wide wavevector range. From the two dispersion branches, the elastic constants c were determined, assuming a hexagonal symmetry. It transpired that the ij mechanical properties of the films were dependent on film thickness. The elastic constant c shows a systematic behavior-44 starting nearly from the isotropic value, it decreases with decreasing film thickness. The hexagonal model works well for films thicker than 60 nm and the lowered value for c can be satisfactorily explained by a preferred N111M orientation of the silver 44 crystallites. However, for the thinnest films, the crystallite orientation cannot explain the strong decrease solely in c . Other 44 effects, like surface roughness, become important.
