Photodepolarization of anodic oxide films

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The polarization state of these oxides is insensitive to light in the visible region.

  2. 2.

    The polarization state of the anodic oxide films is attenuated by UV radiation. The effect is caused by photons with energies on the order of 5 eV. These results are explained on the basis of an intrinsic absorption mechanism.

  3. 3.

    The films studied here, especially those on Zr, which can undergo depolarization in UV light, may find applications in memory cells and in UV dosimetry.

  4. 4.

    The metal-oxide-metal systems with a thermally depolarized oxide, subjected to UV radiation, can be used to measure the work functions of metals.
