Abstract

The effect of cold plasmas of oxygen, hydrogen, water and carbon dioxide on zinc samples was investigated. Oxygen plasma is known for its cleaning effect, hydrocarbons and water are removed from metal surfaces and the oxide layer is thickened. It was found that other oxygen-containing gases had a similar effect. In addition, surface layers of other compounds were produced. The samples were investigated using XPS, Kelvin probe measurements and in situ infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
