“…We can make a rough estimate of the sheet resistance (R s ) using a correction [28] of Pi/ln2 = 4.53 to the resistance and assume zero resistance at shorter distances, giving an R s of about 100 X/sq. This could be compared with a perfect 100 nm thick gold film with bulk resistivity that should have a sheet resistance of 0.2 X/sq (from R s = resistivity/thickness and bulk resistivity of 22 nX/m), or with porous gold film fabricated on a porous aluminum template that have a R s of 4-15 X/sq for a film thickness of about 100 nm [29].…”

“…To apply a micro-scale pattern to the specimen, the procedure described in previous publications [42][43][44][45][46] is used. For comparison to the vision-based measurements, a single strain gage is aligned with the loading direction.…”

Public Reporting Burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comment regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggesstions for reducing this burden, Report Title ABSTRACTThe principal goal of this research is to experimentally measure the three-dimensional transient deformation processes that occur in armor systems undergoing a range of dynamic loading conditions. The development of a 3-D image correlation system using digital cameras capable of acquiring images every 5 nano-seconds were used. Due to the nature of the cameras, extensive algorithms for the removable of image distortions were required. The image correlation technology was transferred to army personal through a 1 year sabbatical at ARL's Aberdeen research facility by the principal investigator.

“…In such cases, other methods (e.g., very thin film sputtering followed by exposure to moderate temperature vapor; coating of patterned surface with thin polymeric layer to improve adherence) may be necessary to develop more durable nanoscale patterns that can be used with metallic materials, though tensile experiments have not been performed over a large strain range to define the range in strain where such coatings are required. With regard to recent work by Collette et al [46], which used the nano-scale pore structure in alumina to impress a nano-scale gold pattern into a thin layer near the surface of a polymer material, the process described in this work appears to be somewhat simpler and less intrusive in the surface region of the polymer.…”

Methods for patterning metal thin films at the microscale and nanoscale by applying the patterns to metallic and polymeric materials for use in shape and deformation measurements in a scanning electron microsope (SEM) or other high magnification imaging system are described. In one approach, thin films of metallic materials (e.g., Au, Ag, Cu, and Cr) are applied to a variety of substrates. The coated samples are then placed into a reaction vessel, where the specimens are heated and exposed to a nitrogen atmosphere saturated with selected volatile chemicals. This process results in nano-scale remodeling of the metallic films, thereby affording high contrast random patterns with different morphologies. In a second approach, thin films of metallic materials, including gold and silver, also have been applied using a simplified UV photolithographic method requiring a minimum amount of laboratory preparation. Using selected substrates, both methods have been used successfully to transfer patterns onto polymeric and metallic materials ranging from 50-500 nanometers with chemical vapor rearrangement and 2 to 20 microns with UV photolithography, providing a pattern that can be used with digital image correlation to quantify both the surface profile and also surface deformations at reduced length scales.
