Abstract
Understanding the evolution of the defects in surface patterns is of practical importance to improve the performance and structural durability of the pattern-based micro- and nanodevices. In this work, we investigate the effects of temperature, compressive strain, and relative direction of the compression to the prestretch on the slip motion of ripple dislocations formed on the surface of gold-coated poly(dimethylsiloxane) films. Applying compression in the direction parallel to the direction of prestretch cannot cause the slip motion of the ripple dislocations. The initial velocity of the slip motion of the ripple dislocations increases with the increases in temperature and compressive strain. The temperature dependence of the ratios of the configuration force to the viscous coefficient and the viscous coefficient to the effective mass of the ripple dislocations follows the Arrhenius equation.
