Transport processes during the growth of oxide films at elevated temperature
Abstract
The current understanding of the growth of thermal oxide films in terms of the transport properties of the oxides is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on examining quantitative relationships between the film growth rate and other measurable parameters of the oxides. The theories of film growth which are expected to apply in the extreme limits of thick films (Wagner) and thin films (Cabrera and Mott) are outlined. Particular attention is given to examining the expected limits of validity of these theories and to the various ways in which their predictions can be tested experimentally. The growth of a selection of important oxides is then discussed in the light of these two theories. The examples (CoO, NiO, ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{4}$, ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$, ${\mathrm{Al}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$, and Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$) have been selected such that together they serve to test the theories, have technological relevance, and exhibit a wide variation in behavior. The dominant role of diffusion along oxide grain boundaries in controlling the growth of the crystalline oxides is highlighted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
