Structural Studies of Titanium Oxide Multilayers

Structural and optical studies of Au doped titanium oxide films

Oxide Multilayers

Multilayer thin films have been attracting attention for half-century due to many possible applications ranging from protective coating to Laser Diodes. State of the art production techniques, made it possible to deposit highquality multilayered thin films with atomically precise interfaces between different materials, including complex oxides with large and complicated unit cells [1]. Despite ...

Electrophoretic Synthesis of Titanium Oxide Nanotubes

In the current research project, sol-gel electrophoresis technique was utilized to grow titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes. A titanium sol was prepared using organometallic precursors of titanium to fill the template channels. The prepared solwas driven into nanopores of porous anodic aluminum oxide templates under the influence of a DC electric field to form nanotubes on the pore walls. Tube fo...

Titanium Pnictide Oxide Superconductors

In 2012, a novel superconductor BaTi2Sb2O was found in the layered titanium pnictide oxides ATi2Pn2O. A related superconductor BaTi2Bi2O was subsequently discovered in 2013. The structure of these materials consists of alternate stacking of superconducting Ti2Pn2O layers and Ba blocking layers, which is somewhat similar to high-Tc cuprates since the Ti2Pn2O layer contains an anti-CuO2-type Ti2O...

Amorphous titanium-oxide supercapacitors

The electric capacitance of an amorphous TiO2-x surface increases proportionally to the negative sixth power of the convex diameter d. This occurs because of the van der Waals attraction on the amorphous surface of up to 7 mF/cm2, accompanied by extreme enhanced electron trapping resulting from both the quantum-size effect and an offset effect from positive charges at oxygen-vacancy sites. Here...
