Atomic oxygen is the most hazardous species of molecules present in the Low Earth Orbit causing failure of the material in space. This study was undertaken to examine the differences in the oxidation of silicon by molecular and atomic oxygen. Hypotheses about the effects of reactive atomic oxygen on the oxidation mechanism of silicon and formed oxide microstructure are presented. The oxides created with atomic and molecular oxygen were studied via Rutherford Backscattering (RBS), High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), Electron-Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), X-ray Photoelectron Scattering (XPS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).The results obtained in the experiments are discuss...
