Abstract

Ultrathin (1–10 nm) Cu and Au films were prepared on the silicon and quartz substrates by magnetron sputtering at room temperature. We measured the transmission coefficient of the films at a wavelength of 3cm and analyzed a surface morphology of these films. It was shown that the films with thicknesses less than 7.5 nm (Au) and 3 nm (Cu) are almost transparent for microwaves. This effect is explained by quick oxidation of Cu and the complex surface morphology of nanometer thick films. The Au film morphology is evolved with increasing average Au thickness d from hemispherical islands initially (1.0 nm<d<5.0 nm) to partially coalesced worm-like island structures (d=10 nm).
