Crystalline magnesium oxide films on soda lime glass by sol-gel processing

Abstract

Well-crystallized and large-grained magnesium oxide films were deposited onto soda lime glass substrates by sol-gel technique. The films could be synthesized at a relatively low annealing temperature ( ∼ 500 °C). The films were dense and characterized by strong reflections from (200) plane for periclase phase and from (400) plane for the β-phase. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
