Abstract
The use of electron diffraction to study the interface region of thin, composite oxide films provides a sensitive means of investigating the mechanism of the solid-state reactions between these oxide layers.
An investigation of the reaction between CuO and Al2O3 and NiO and Al2O3 by this method indicates the formation of an aluminate layer by a mechanism involving cation counterdiffusion.
