“…Owing to the great progress achieved in the areas of microelectronics and integrated optics, much effort has been devoted to the study of the production and characterization of thin films. In particular, polycrystalline alkali fluoride thin films have recently been investigated as promising materials for applications in miniaturized optical devices, such as waveguide and integrated lasers (Baldacchini et al ., 1995a; Montereali, 1997). The need for more efficient and compact components has motivated investigations of the physical and chemical properties of these materials produced under different conditions, Cremona et al .…”

The influence of the deposition temperature on the grain size of polycrystalline lithium fluoride (LiF) thin films is studied using a mathematical morphology method. On atomic force microscopy images of the LiF surface, the grain sizes and shapes are determined by applying the watershed technique, together with a shape factor algorithm. Also, the domain size of the film structure, determined by an X-ray diffraction data analysis, is compared and correlated with the mean grain size as a function of the deposition temperature. In both cases a linear increase with temperature and a very good agreement among the two structural parameters (grain and domain size) was found.
