The Continuum

Metal (iron and nickel) films have been deposited on soft elastic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates by direct current sputtering technique and the impurity induced wrinkling patterns are investigated by using optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy. It is found that the metal films can spontaneously form disordered wrinkles due to the isotropic compressive stress. In the vicinity of film impurities such as extraneous particles, linear defects, cracks and thickness-gradient film edges, the stress field becomes anisotropic owing to symmetry breaking and thus complex wrinkling patterns including straight stripes, herringbones, crossings, labyrinths and their transitions can be observed. The morphological evolutions, structural characteristics and physical mechanisms of the impurity induced wrinkles have been discussed and analyzed based on the continuum elastic theory.
