Abstract
The CVD of a new solid-state material, CoNxO1-x with a very high elect rical conductivity has been achieved by substituting one nitrosyl liga nd into the coordination sphere of cobalt carbonyl. Smooth films or na nocrystalline particles can be deposited by controlling the reaction c onditions. The film resistivity is typically eleven orders of magnitud e lower than that of CoO. This large conductivity increase is explaine d in terms of the oxidation of some of the Co to maintain electroneutr ality.
