Abstract:
Uranium dioxide thin films were prepared by magnetron sputtering method. The films were analyzed and characterized by SEM, XPS and XRD. The reflectances of the films between 400 and 1 200 nm wavelength were measured by reflectance spectroscopy. By fitting the reflectance, the value of refractive index
n and extinction coefficient
k between 450 and 950 nm wavelength and the films thickness were obtained, the
n is in the range of 2.1-2.65,
k is nearly 0.51, and the film thickness is 637 nm.
