We present results from a systematic investigation of environmental effects on microstructure and frictional behavior of Au-Ni multilayer films of varying interlayer spacing. Multilayer samples were initially analyzed under UHV and it was demonstrated that the interlayer spacing has a strong impact on friction due to the transition in the dominant deformation mechanism near the surface. A newly shear-induced phase, which can be interpreted as an AuNi alloy (60-65 at% Ni in Au) was observed in the tribolayer for thinner samples. Subsequently, experiments were performed in dry-nitrogen and higher friction forces were measured, leading to different microstructure evolution.
