Abstract: 

The effectiveness of the protective properties of ZnO films obtained by sol-gel technology was studied by plasmon magnetic resonance. Amorphous films 10 nm thick with low surface roughness provided an increase in resistance to mechanical wear by more than 2 times. The resistance to film destruction increased by approximately 27 times, which is a significant achievement. Combined with a 5 nm thin layer of chromium to enhance adhesion between gold and glass, amorphous thin films of ZnO have demonstrated excellent protective properties for the sensing elements of sensor devices based on the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance.
