摘要
The growth kinetics of very thin (<10 nm) oxide films on Zr(0001) and Zr(10<(1)over bar>0) single-crystalline surfaces was investigated by real-time in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (RISE). To this end, clean Zr(0001) and Zr(10 (1) over bar0) surfaces were prepared under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by a cyclic treatment of ion sputtering and in vacuo annealing. The thus obtained bare Zr surfaces were subsequently exposed to O-2 (g) in the temperature range of 300-450 K (at a partial oxygen pressure of 10(-4) Pa) while monitoring the growth kinetics by RISE. Quantitative RISE analysis showed that the less densely packed Zr(10 (1) over bar0) surface oxidizes more readily than the densely packed Zr(0001) surface. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
