Abstract
In this report, we present the characterization of CaCoIVO3 perovskite thin films prepared from the oxidation of CaCoIIIO2.5 brownmillerite films using a NaClO solution. The oxidation state and octahedral coordination of cobalt in CaCoO3 is confirmed by comparing with that of SrCoO3 via Co-L2,3 edge soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
