TL;DR: In this article, MgO thin films were hydrated by exposing in the humid ambience with 80% relative humidity at room temperature, and the entire hydrated region was observed to be approximately 2 nm thick.

TL;DR: In this paper, MgO single crystals and thin films were intentionally hydrated to determine the critical factors affecting the hydration behavior, and the degree of hydration was affected by the crystallographic orientation in the initial stages.

TL;DR: In this article, MgO thin films were deposited on SiO2/Si(100) and corning 7059 glass substrates using bis(2,2,6, 6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato) magnesium(II) as a precursor dissolved in a solvent by electrostatic spray deposition (ESD).

TL;DR: Al 2 O 3 capping layer was deposited by DC reactive sputtering method on MgO protective layer, which varied from 1 to 15 nm as discussed by the authors, and it was found that Mg atoms diffused into Al 2 O3 layer and reacted with moisture at surface, forming Mg(OH) 2 phase during hydration reaction.
