Ultra-high vacuum preparation and characterization of ultra-thin layers of SiO2 on ZrO2 and TiO2 by chemical vapour deposition of Si(OEt)4
Abstract
SiO2 overlayers, prepared by chemical vapour deposition of Si(OEt)4, were identified by ion scattering spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy to be ultra-thin films uniformly coating ZrO2, but this was not the case for TiO2.
