Abstract
The paper describes ellipsometrie investigations of aluminium hydroxide films grown on aluminium surfaces which have been exposed to water vapor. The types of samples used for the investigations have been:-
-
1.
Commercial aluminium sheet which had been etched by Argon ions and exposed to water vapor in a vacuum system at 25 °C.
-
2.
As supplied commercial aluminium sheet which had been chemically or mechanically cleaned and exposed to saturated water vapor at 70°C.
-
3.
Freshly deposited films exposed to water vapor in a vacuum system at 25°C.
