摘要
Chromium dioxide films on TiO2(110) single crystals have been grown by using chemical vapor deposition. The average growth rate was similar to1.8 nm.min(-1). Powder X-ray diffraction indicated that the films were highly (110) textured. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the CrO2 films were continuous and no other chromium oxides were present. The CrO2 films were composed of grains typically 200-300 nm in diameter and appeared consistent with the rutile crystal structure. Atomic force microscopy suggested that the films were relatively rough, with a root-mean-square roughness of similar to114 nm for an 850 nm thick film. The resistivity at room temperature was found to be similar to137 muOmega(.)cm which decreased to similar to16 muOmega(.)cm at 5 K, consistent with metallic behavior. The films were ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of 398 K.
