CHARACTERISTIC ELECTRON ENERGY LOSSES IN ZINC OXIDE BY THE TRANSMISSION METHOD.
Abstract
Thin films of ZnO have been prepared by the evaporation of ZnS crystals in an oxygen atmosphere of 0.0005 torr. X-ray analysis showed the films to be of the zinc blende structure. The ZnO film was mounted in a self-supporting manner in an electrostatic energy analyzer system for characteristic energy loss analysis by the transmission of 14 keV electrons. Six interband transitions in the energy range 3.6 eV to 60.0 eV were observed, which were compared to corresponding maxima in ZnO optical reflectivity measurements. An unexplainable anomaly was observed in the value of the principal plasmon peak. (Author)
