The optical properties of sputtered Co3O4 films. Cook, J. & van der Meer, M. Thin Solid Films, 144(2):165--176, November, 1986. Paper doi abstract bibtex Films of cobalt oxide were prepared by r.f. reactive sputtering of a cobalt target in Ar-O2 mixtures, and their optical properties were determined by absorption spectroscopy and scanning ellipsometry. The films were further characterized by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The films were found to consist of Co3O4 when the oxygen flow rate exceeded a critical value, in agreement with previous studies. The optical properties of this oxide are due to intense ligand field absorption by Co2+ and Co3+ ions in a spinel structure. The optical properties of cobalt films oxidized near 500 °C were very similar to those of the sputtered films. Reactive co-sputtering of nickel and cobalt blackened the films for low Ni:Co ratios as a result of charge transfer absorption. Smooth films of Co3O4 did not function well as selective thermal absorbers of solar radiation.
