AND NANOSTRUCTURED OBJECTS
Description:
Results of researches of structure and thermalphysical
properties of thin films and crystals of the small sizes (Ðu,
Ag, Al, Ni, Re, Pb, In, C60) are discussed. Thermal conduc(cid:28)
tivity (λ,), thermal diffusivity (K), thermal expansion (α),
cpecific heat (C), total emissivity (ε), mean square dis(cid:28)
placement of atoms, Debyе temperature, some aspects of
melting and crystallization of thin films are investigated.
Experimental methods of studying of the specified proper(cid:28)
ties in wide Interval of thickness t (1–100 nm), tempera(cid:28)
tures Т (4,2–700 K), structural conditions (a monocrystal,
polycrystal, amorphous condition) are developed. The
information about structure and the specified properties it
is received, in the core, by method of transaction higher
energy electron diffraction by the analysis of position,
intensity and a profile of the electron diffraction lines. For
definition thermal conductivities and thermal diffusivity
films heated up inside electron diffraction chamber. The
temperature of the films computed from electron diffrac(cid:28)
tion pictures by coefficient of thermal expansion. Dimen(cid:28)
sional, structural and substructural effects are investigat(cid:28)
ed. This effects make for distinctions in thermalphysical
properties thin films and bulk. It is established, that ther(cid:28)
mal conductivity of thin films is less of heat conductivity
of the bulk. Distinctions in values λ and λ0 depend on a
temperature interval of researches, thickness of the films,
their structures and can reach several orders of the value.
In an interval 300–4,2 K thermal conductivity of the films
monotonously decreases with decrease of the temperature.
The maximum of thermal conductivity for bulk metals at
low temperatures, in films is not observed. For tempera(cid:28)
tures 80–300 K thermal resistivity of thin films is well
described by expression
λ(cid:28)1= B/T +C,
where B/T =Wo – residual thermal resistivity, C= Wi –
ideal thermal resistivity. Value Wi are the same for poly(cid:28)
and monocrystal films, does not depend on thickness and
coincides with value for bulk.Lorentz's ratio in Wiede(cid:28)
mann(cid:28)Franz(cid:28)Lorentz law is experimentally determinated.
Lorentz's ratio of thin films for the investigated interval of
thickness, temperatures, structural states does not differ
from classical Sommerfeld value. Total emissivity ε of thin
films is less, than ε0 of bulk metal. Value of ε is monoto(cid:28)
nously increase with increase of thickness, coming nearer
to value ε0. As well as for bulk metals, value e linearly
increase with increasing of the temperature.
Distinction in values of coefficient of thermal expansion α,
mean square displacement of the thin films and bulk met(cid:28)
als are established. Enlarged values of α and root(cid:28)mean(cid:28)
square displacement of films are caused by influence of
external and internal (due to nanoporosity) surfaces.
From dependence α on thickness (t < 10 nm) of thin films
the estimation of coefficient of linear expansion αs for a
surface (Ðu, С60) is estimated. The influence of thickness

and grain size on thermal diffusivity is found. The value K
of thin films changes similarly to change of value λ.
Innovative Aspect and Main Advantages:
New electron(cid:28)optical methods of studying thermalphysical
properties nanosized objects are offered and developed.
The main advantage of the offered techniques of research
of properties consists that they allow to supervise struc(cid:28)
ture and phase composition of nanosized bodies during
thermophysical experiments.
For the first time the investigations of the thermalphysical
properties of thin free from substrates films are carried out.
Dependences above mentioned properties of thin films on
the thickness, temperature, a structural state are experi(cid:28)
mentally established. The reasons of distinction in proper(cid:28)
ties of thin films and bulk metals are established.
Areas of Application:
The information about thermalphysical characteristics
nanosized and nanostructured bodies, are a basis for ther(cid:28)
mel calculations in numerous areas where thin(cid:28)film objects
and compositions on their basis with different functional
destinations are used: micro and nanoelectronics, comput(cid:28)
er technik, optics, thin(cid:28)film devices, coverings, catalysts,
sensors, etc.
Thin free from substrate thin films with known thermo(cid:28)
physical characteristics can are used as nanocalorimetre.
By means of such nanocalorimetre the heating of thin films
under electron beam is investigated.
Stage of Development:
Now data on stationary and non(cid:28)stationary temperature
fields free of thin films and their properties are used for
development of new methods of investigation of thermo(cid:28)
physical properties of films with thickness t>102 nm, mul(cid:28)
tilayered films, films with amorphous structure.
