CoAl2O4 Spinel Growth on SiO2 Substrates via Annealing of Magnetron Sputtered Thin Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

The layers of Al and Co are deposited successively on SiO2 substrates using magnetron sputtering technique. Thereafter, annealing is provided at 1100°C in 2-195 minutes in the muffle furnace. The color of the layers is changed gradually from brown at 2 minutes to blue at 195 minutes. The change of the structure during annealing is seen from the Raman spectra. The line at 188 cm-1 shifts to 203 cm-1, which shows the substitution of the Co3+ with less massive Al3+ ions during the formation of CoAl2O4. The most intensive peak at 505 cm-1 disappears after the process is finished in 60 minutes. the annealing is provided in the Ar+O2 atmosphere with 5% and 0.07% of oxygen in the temperature range from 850 to 1100 °C. The film with the layered structure is obtained at the low oxygen conditions.
