Figure 3: Formation of a typical giant cavity at AlOx–Al interface.
From: Effect of hydrogen on the integrity of aluminium–oxide interface at elevated temperatures
See the Supplementary Movie for the dynamic process. (a–d) Snapshots of the pillar at 20, 100, 150 and 200 °C, respectively. (e) Size evolution of the proto-cavities and cavity with temperature. From 20 to 100 °C, the proto-cavities grow, but as the cavity on the corner begins to grow, the proto-cavities decrease in size. Scale bar, 100 nm.
