Abstract

The existence of the supermodulus effect, an enhancement in the elastic modulus of artificially layered metal films, was discovered more than a dozen years ago. Yet the detailed nature of this effect remains a puzzling phenomena. Implications of the interface structure on the elastic properties of gold-nickel multilayers are investigated using x-ray diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy.
