Abstract
The long term stability of multilayer materials composed of nonreactive, im miscible materials is related to the equilibrium shapes of the individual g rains within the layers. These shapes are determined by the free energies a nd locations of the interfaces within the multilayer. We link the results o f zero creep experiments with measured grain boundary groove angles to unde rstand experimental observations of multilayer stability. (C) 1999 Acta Met allurgica Inc.
