摘要
An accurate knowledge of elastic constants of thin films is important in understanding the effect of strain on material properties. We have used residual thermal strain to measure the Poisson ratio of Ge films grown on Si aY001aY (c) substrates, using the sin(2) psi method and high-resolution x-ray diffraction. The Poisson ratio of the Ge films was measured to be 0.25, compared with the bulk value of 0.27. Our study indicates that use of Poisson ratio instead of bulk compliance values yields a more accurate description of the state of in-plane strain present in the film.
