Abstract

Formation behavior of nanovoids during the annealing of amorphous Al 2O3 and WO3 was studied by transmission electron microscopy. The density and size of the voids in Al2O 3 and WO3 increase with increasing annealing temperature from 973 to 1123 K and from 573 to 673 K, respectively. It is suggested that the formation of nanovoids during annealing is attributed to the large difference in density between as-deposited amorphous and crystalline oxides.
