We examine the effects of the substrate on the determination of mechanical properties of thin films by nanoindentation. The properties of aluminum and tungsten films on the following substrates have been studied: aluminum, glass, silicon and sapphire. By studying both soft films on hard substrates a
Understanding the mechanical properties of multilayered metal thin films is very important for their applications in nanoscale devices. Nanoindentation is one of the widely used tools for examining the mechanical properties of metal thin films. In the present study, molecular dynamics simulation was
