description

The indentation creep in as-deposited and photopolymerized As- S-Se and As-S films has been investigated. The results show pronounced relaxation of mechanical stresses in the films at room temperature. The relationship (sigma) equals B (epsilon) m between the deformation rate and the stress is observed and the values of the deformation rate sensitivity exponent m < 1 are found. The creep rate was found to be dependent on deposition conditions of layers, applied indentation load, structural state of the material and light irradiation during the creep test.© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
