Da. Hensley et Sh. Garofalini, IN-SITU DEPOSITION AND XPS CHARACTERIZATION OF LITHIUM BASED SOLID GLASS ELECTROLYTE VANADIA INTERFACES - OBSERVATION OF LITHIUM MIGRATION, Solid state ionics, 82(1-2), 1995, pp. 67-73
In situ X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) was used to examine the
interfaces formed by reactive sputter deposition of vanadia onto seve
ral lithium based solid glass electrolytes. It has been found that lit
hium migration to the vanadia/vacuum interface can occur during deposi
tion and that the presence of lithium can influence the oxygen uptake
during the reactive sputtering process. The lithium migration is drive
n by an electric field present due to the plasma; it is shown that the
migration can be influenced by the deposition conditions.
