Synthesis of Cupric Oxide Films using Mass-Separated Low-Energy O+ Beams
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
We report the epitaxial growth of CuO thin films prepared by lowenergy and high-density O+ ion beams mass-separated from an oxygen plasma. We have successfully produced O+ beams of 50 μA/cm2 while maintaining an ambient pressure of 3×10−9 Torr during the growth. CuO grows on MgO(100) with epitaxial relationship of (111)CuO // (100)MgO and [110]CuO // [110]MgO at room temperature and even under conditions where the flux density of O+ beams is at least one order of magnitude lower than the minimum flux density of O2 required to form CuO.
