Abstract

The strain distribution within individual layers in Au/Ni multilayer systems was obtained by an iterative fitting of the experimental x-ray diffraction pattern with a kinematic model. The depth profile of strain in the modulation direction was obtained for these metallic multilayers with repeat periodicities ranging from 1.19 nm to 4.26 nm. It was found that the role of interfacial coherency and strengthening is of great importance in understanding the origin of the supermodulus effect in metallic multilayers.
