Abstract

In this paper, a thin layer of palladium deposited on the glass substrate and subsequently a thin layer of gold deposited on the surface of the palladium with 188 Å thickness by electron beam evaporation. Then the prepared Au/Pd thin films annealed at 523, 598, 673, 748, 773 and 823 K temperatures for an hour, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to investigate the effect of thermal treatment on structural and morphological properties of the thin surface films, and to evaluate of the mechanical properties of the thin surfaces, Vickers micro hardness analysis (MHV) was used. Results of the XRD and AFM analysis showed that with increasing of the annealing temperature, the size of the formed nanoparticles increase, and their growth takes place in three dimensions. Results of the micro Vickers analysis also showed that the increase of the annealing temperature up to 823 K would increase the hardness of the Au/Pd thin film, thereby improving its mechanical properties.
