In this study, Mn silicate (MnSiO3) barrier layers were formed on thermally grown SiO2 using both metallic Mn and oxidized Mn films, in order to investigate the role of oxygen in determining the extent of the interaction between the deposited Mn and the SiO2 substrate. Using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it has been shown that a metallic Mn...
