Nanocrystalline Pd films of 1 µm thickness were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering on Kapton substrates. The films were sputtered by use of nanoscale multilayer technology with individual deposition layer thicknesses ranging between 1 and 20 nm at various sputter conditions.
The resulting grain size and texture were characterized using TEM and conventional XRD measurements. Tensile tests were performed ex-situ as well as in-situ in a synchrotron diffractometer. Peak form analysis reveals intrinsic and extrinsic stacking fault density and twin density, which depend on the applied strain rate. Considered deformation mechanisms are: grain boundary sliding, grain rotation and the formation of stacking faults. It is investigated whether the formation of these defects is reversible after relaxation.
