Özet

An Au/CuO/Cu2O/Cu sandwich structure has been obtained by growing successive Cu2O 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/Cu2O/Cu is explored through the effect of water's dipole moment.
