Amorphous barium titanate films were flash evaporated on silicon and studied with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. After water adsorption, the surface oxygen 1s photoelectron peak reveals the presence of hydroxyl groups. A thermal desorption experiment on a similar thin film evaporated on rhenium shows one peak of water partial pressure at about 480 K, which decreases after repeated cycles of adsorption...
