Abstract

From a NaCl crystal which was grown with an impurity concentration of 1% of divalent manganese, samples were cleaved and annealed between 500-580 °C. During annealing the manganese impurities migrate by diffusion from the volume to the surface of the NaCl crystal. On the surface manganese is oxidized and forms Mn₂O₃ thin films. Some characteristics of the MnO nucleation are discussed. Impurity diffusion to the surface is not observed in the parent NaCl crystal during its growth.
