The interaction of the dipole moment of the water molecule with the interface states of the cuprous oxide/cupris oxide junction

Özet

An $Au/CuO/Cu_2O/Cu$ sandwich structure has been obtained by growing successive $Cu_2O$ and CuO layers on a Cu sheet. A gold metal contact was formed CuO side at pressure of $1\times10^{-6}$ Torr. Current-voltage characteristics and capacitance of the system were seen to change over a great extent due to the presence of humidity. The effect of the humidity on $Au/CuO/Cu_2O/Cu$ is explored through the effect of water's dipole moment.
