Superior thermal stability in Ag/Nb multilayers by different interfacial structures

In this work, the thermal stability of annealed Ag/Nb multilayers was investigated as the individual layer thickness (h) varies from 1 nm to 100 nm. The lamellar structures remain unchanged after annealing at 500 °C for 1 h, and the hardness at all scales remains undiminished after annealing. The re...
