Abstract In this work, we have studied the influence of oxygen on the chemistry and morphology of nano-sculpted MgOx thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering in glancing angle configuration. First, we have studied the poisoning mechanism of the Mg target by² combining target voltage and deposition rate measurements with chemical analysis of the deposited films by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. The results reveal a strong metal-to-compound transition at very low oxygen flows, namely
