Popis: The transformation of cupric oxide (CuO) into cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin films by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatments is studied. The CuO films were obtained by dip-coating from a precursor solution containing copper (II) acetate. The films are formed of ten coats, where each one was deposited with a withdrawal speed of 8 cm/min and dried in air at 250 °C for 5 min; after that, the films were sintered in air at 250 °C for 1 h. Under these conditions an average thickness of 240 nm is obtained. The RTA treatments on the CuO films were performed for 10 s with a heating ramp of 5 °C/s in vacuum at temperatures (TA) in the 325–450 °C range with steps of 25 °C. As revealed by X-ray diffraction data, the composition of the polycrystalline films depends upon the applied TA: i) CuO+Cu2O for TA
