Deposition of Al Thin Film on Steel Substrate: The Role of Thickness on Crystallization and Grain Growth
In this study, we deposited aluminum (Al) films of different thicknesses on steel substrate and examined their phase, microstructure, and film growth process. We estimated that films of up to 30 nm thickness were mainly amorphous in nature. When the film thickness exceeded 30 nm, crystallization was...
