Abstract
The removal of oxygen from thin CoO layers on Co(<10(1)over bar 0>) un der the action of H-2 proceeds simultaneously through thinning of the oxide layer by removal of oxygen from the oxide/metal interface region and through lowering of the oxygen concentration in the remaining oxi de. This conclusion has been reached by using a high-energy ion channe ling and blocking technique in combination with ellipsometry and nucle ar reaction analysis.
