摘要
The initial step of anodic growth of thin oxide films (1 to 100 nm) on AI and Ta is the simultaneous emission of metal cations from the interface metal/oxide and oxygen ions from the interface oxide/electrolyte. These ions represent mobile space charges which migrate through the oxide film to the opposite interfaces. This process requires times from mu s to 10(4) s, depending on the field strength and the film thickness and was monitored in the time domain (current transients of potential steps, 10(-6) s to 10(4) s). The movement of the ionic space charges can be used to determine the concentration of mobile ions, the film thickness, the thickness distribution of non-homogeneous films and the temperature of extreme thin films.
