Evaporated Aluminum Fluoride as a Barrier Layer to Retard Oxidation of Aluminum Mirrors
The aluminum oxide growth rate for aluminum protected with 2.4 nm of aluminum fluoride has been determined. We show that a 2.4 nm aluminum fluoride layer does not prevent aluminum from oxidation but does significantly retard the oxide growth – decreasing the oxide layer thickness from 1 nm in less t...
