Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hydroxyl salts of the type M2(OH)3X (X = Cl, Br, or I) have been known for a long time. The most familiar might be the hydroxyl chloride Cu2(OH)3Cl (atacamite), which forms naturally on copper and bronze as a green patina and is widely recognized as imparting the characteristic hue to the Statue of Liberty. It may also exist as bio-minerals in living organisms such as in the jaws of the marine bloodworm and crocodile. Recently, we found ferroelectricity in some hydroxyl salts. On these backgrounds, by simulating the natural erosion, this research aimed at directly forming ferroelectric thin films of hydroxyl salts on metal surfaces, which can be developed into an easily-applicable technology for bio-friendly electronics. Through investigating the erosion behaviors of metals in various acid environmental conditions, we have succeeded in directly forming thin films of hydroxyl salts on metal surfaces by erosion. Further development can be expected.
