Reaction Velocities In Free Standing Aluminum And Cooper Oxide This Films, Matthew Erickson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this work we investigate the reaction propagation velocity of aluminum and copper oxide Metastable Intermolecular Composites (MIC's). All samples were deposited in a magnetron sputtering system using 2 aluminum targets and 2 copper targets. The copper is sputtered in an oxygen rich environment in order to obtain copper oxide rich films. Three different layer structures are used for various measurements that are composed of alternating 20 layer pairs, 30 layer pairs, and 40 layer pairs. All layer pairs maintain a constant total thickness of 3.2 microns. Each layer structure can be prepared independent of a substrate and is measured …
