Alkali Halide Crystals

Films of a number of metals have been deposited on the (100) faces of some alkali halide crystals. In each case the adhesion was measured over an extended period, and the adhesion was expressed as the shearing force required to remove the film. It was found that the adhesion was relatively poor and there was no variation in adhesion with time such as had been observed for many metal films on glass substrates. Various adhesion mechanism s were considered, but all the results could be explained adequately by van der Waals forces alone and a linear relation was shown to exist between the experimental values and the calculated van der Waals attraction for each metal-substrate pair.
