Abstract

Three kinds of copper oxide (CuO) films, that is, CuO mono-layer films (MLFs), CuO/A12O3 artificial superstructured films (ASFs) and CuO/MgO ASFs were prepared by a reactive vapor deposition method. Magnetic susceptibility of the MLFs is almost constant against temperature and the Neel temperature (TN) is a little lower than that of bulk CuO. There is paramagnetic contribution proportional to the number of the interfaces for both kinds of ASFs. It is considered to be caused by imperfect -Cu-O-Cu- antiferromagnetic superexchange interactions located in the vicinity of interfaces.
