Description
Summary:Nanometric thin films have always been chiefly used for decoration; however they are now being widely used as the basis of high technology. Among the various physical qualities that characterize them, the thickness strongly influences their properties. Thus, a new procedure is hereby proposed and developed for determining the thickness of V 2 O 5 nanometric thin films deposited on the glass surface using Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (PXRF) equipment and the attenuation of the radiation intensity K α of calcium present in the glass. It is shown through the present paper that the radiation intensity of calcium K α rays is proportional to film thickness in nanometric films of vanadium deposited on the glass surface.
