摘要
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin films have been synthesised potentiostatically on Cu and tin oxide-coated substrates at various bath temperatures. X-ray diffraction studies showed the deposition of single-phase cubic Cu2O film with improved crystallinity at the optimum deposition parameter conditions. X-ray line profile analyses are carried out on Cu2O films and microstructural parameters are evaluated. The variations of microstructural parameters with deposition and annealing conditions are studied. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
