Optical properties of a self-assembled Cu/Cu2O multilayered structure studied in situ during deposition

Abstract

The process of nonlinear electrochemical deposition of Cu/Cu2O multilayers is studied in situ by optical techniques. It is shown that the reflectivity, being sensitive to the composition and structure of the multilayers, hides the presence of periodically repetitive layers. In contrast, second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensity reveals oscillations which follow the potential oscillations occurring during deposition. Both reflectivity and SHG intensity are described self-consistently by a generalized Maxwell–Garnett approximation.
