H. Benqlilou-moudden et al., Amorphous lithium cobalt and nickel oxides thin films: preparation and characterization by RBS and PIGE, THIN SOL FI, 333(1-2), 1998, pp. 16-19
Thin films have been deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering, usi
ng LiCoO2, LiNiO2 and LiNi0.7Co0.3O2 targets, in argon or Ar/O-2 gas mixtur
e. The composition of the thin films has been determined by proton induced
gamma-ray emission (PIGE) analysis and by Rutherford backscattering spectro
scopy (RBS). The oxygen partial pressure in the plasma influences the compo
sition of the thin films; these results an discussed with regard to the fil
m morphology. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. Ail lights reserved.
