Assessment of residual stress on thin films by laser microtopography

Residual stress of as-deposited coatings may cause bending of the coating/substrate system. If residual stresses are present and the overall deflection is small compared with the substrate thickness, then by symmetry the coated substrate will take up a spherical curvature in the region away from the...
