Determination of adhesion energies by using hydrogen loading. — •Eugen Nikitin, Astrid Pundt, and Reiner Kirchheim — Institut für Materialphysik, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, D-37077 Göttingen

Hydrogen loading of thin films leads to large mechanical stress that increases with hydrogen concentration. That results in local film detachment and buckling above a critical stress. The critical stress depends on the material as well as on the film thickness. It can be used as a measure for the adhesion energy between the film and the substrate [1]. A simple model will be presented to calculate the adhesion energy from critical stress data [2]. Adhesion energies of different metals are measured for the metal/polycarbonate interface.
