Abstract

The elastic and anelastic properties of AgNi multilayers prepared by sputtering were investigated during the course of anneal cycles. The respective temperature variations of some of the elastic constants and moduli were followed by Brillouin scattering and dynamical methods based on use of a torsion pendulum and a vibrating-reed system. The last two enabled to investigate the internal damping associated with the presence of two-dimensional defects. It appears that the motion of interfaces and grain boundaries is inhibited by the high defect density. In contrast, substantial effects associated with the motion of the magnetic domain walls were evidenced. Concurrently, internal stresses were studied by in situ deflection measurements. Flow stress values on the order of 1 GPa were observed. Dilatometry experiments showed that a large part of the non-recoverable modifications in the state of stress induced by thermal cycling originates in the densification of the material.
