摘要: In this paper, the enhancement of Al( 111 ) oxidation rate by simultaneous oxygen exposures and electron irradiation is investigated at 90 K using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) work-function (WF) measurements. Electron-beam energies ∼0-100 eV current densities up to 80 μA/cm 2 are used. No effect found initial stages oxidation. The (enhanced rate) only observed higher O (above 100 L). when clusters aluminum oxide formed on surface. existence a molecular precursor state associated with these proposed, based both surface temperature beam-energy dependence rate. addition, charge trapped grains sets an electrostatic field (detected XPS WF measurements) stimulating ion diffusion further film growth.
