The structure, components, and surface valence states of the oxide films were investigated by using gazing incidence X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron microscopy, and surface analytical techniques. Their thickness and optical properties were studied by using spectroscopic ellipsometry and total reflectance spectrum. Color was accurately defined using L＊a＊b＊ scale. The thickness of compact Ta2O5 films was linearly dependent on anodizing voltage. The film color was tunable by adjusting the anodic voltage. The difference in color appearance resulted from the interference behavior between the interfaces of air-oxide and oxide metal.展开更多
