Abstract:Thin films of Cr and Gd oxide were sequentially deposited on Kapton H polyimide and heat treated in vacuum or air at 550-673 K. The interactions between the layers was followed with Auger electron spectroscopy and Rutherford back-scattering spectrometry. Heating caused the Cr oxide thickness to grow as a function of thermal exposure. No intermixing occurred between the Cr and Gd,O, layers until the presence of 0 in the Cr layer near the interface. Rapid diffusion of Cr oxide into the Gd oxide layer then occurr… Show more
