Single Phase CuO Thin Films Prepared by Thermal Oxidation in Air with Water Vapor

Article Preview

Abstract:

Single phase CuO films have been successfully synthesized by thermal oxidation of cupper foil in air with water vapor. The structural and optical properties of CuO films were investigated. It is observed that the grain size increases with increasing the oxidation temperature. The optical band gap of CuO film is determined by the transmittance and reflectance spectra.
