Abstract

The adhesion of Au, Ag, Pb, Sn, In, Cu, Cd, Mg, Ca films to vacuum-cleaved Al2O3, MgO and SiO2 single crystals has been studied. It is shownf -4hat for botn Al2O3 and MgO the level of adhesion is slightly higher than that for SiO2 and tends to increase with chemical activity of deposited metals. As a result, the adhesion varies from the level of van der Waals forces to the level of chemical interaction.
