Abstract
Experiments were conducted on multilayer thin films to determine the free energies associated with silver/iron interfaces. Creep studies determined the loads for which the multilayers neither shrank nor stretched over time. Microstructural data was used with the zero creep loads in a model for grain boundary diffusion controlled creep in multilayers to determine the interfacial free energy.
