Abstract
- Air oxidation of chromium films is investigated as an alternative technique for making chromium (III, IV) oxides junctions, of interest for magnetoelectronics applications. Characterization of the surface by angle-resolved X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (ARXPS) shows that a surface layer of insulating Cr2O3 is covering metallic CrO2. The phase separation of the two types of oxides is more pronounced after increased oxidation. Low-temperature electric transport curve confirms the zero-bias anomaly observed in the past on oxidized chromium junctions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
