What am i doing wrong with Ti adhesion layers? I am thermally
evaporating 50-100nm Au films on glass substrates with 2-5nm Ti adhesion
layers. After a few days, the films turn from reflective Au to a frosty
white color. Is this titanium oxidation or some other diffusion process
I am unfamiliar with?
Thanks
