Abstract
Stress modifications are calculated at a free surface-interface inters ection of a strained layer in a matrix when the interface is broadened by thermal diffusion or by ion mixing. The results show that this bro adening induces a stress relaxation that delays the growth of interfac e cracks and increases the adhesion.
