A fully funded master (M2) thesis is proposed in the framework of a University-Industry cooperation between the Laboratoire des Sciences des Procédés et des Matériaux (LSPM/CNRS) and Saint-Gobain Research Paris (SGR Paris) on the topic of mechanical properties of thin films on glass substrate. The objective of this internship is to investigate cracking and delamination phenomena of thin films on glass substrates during mechanical and thermal loading, identifying the mechanisms which influence crack formation and delamination. This requires the use of cutting-edge experimental tools aimed to probe the mechanical properties on different loading configurations and temperatures, while observing in situ crack formation and delamination process. Specifically, nanoindentation and tensile tests will be carried out In situ Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to visualize cracks formation mechanisms during heating and cooling, while assessing the mechanical behavior. This thesis will be inserted in the new established group of "Thin Films & Micromechanics" at Laboratoire des Sciences des Procédés et des Matériaux (LSPM, lead by Dr. Matteo Ghidelli). The project will leverage state-of-the-art micromechanical instrumentation and is conducted in a close collaboration with Saint-Gobain Research Paris (SGR Paris), under the guidance of Dr. Alessandro Benedetto.
