This book describes experiments that have been§carried out on a model metal oxide interface to§understand diffusion reactions and the effect of an§external electric field across the interface. The§author has focused on investigating the formation of§a reaction phase, morphological changes, and§redistribution of ions at the interface. It§demonstrates that the morphology, the spatial§distribution of ions, and consequently, the§metal oxide bonding can be substantially modified by§annealing at elevated temperatures, and that the§effect of annealing can be strongly enhanced or§hindered by applying an electric field. Since§metal oxide adhesion and the fracture energy§sensitively depend on the spatial distribution§of atomic species and the interface morphology, the§results presented in this book suggest that§annealing - in particular under applied electric§fields - can have profound effects on the§technologically important properties of metal oxide§interfaces.
