Dielectric and infrared properties of TiO2 films containing anatase and rutile
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrical and optical properties of low-temperature, plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposited films of TiO2 have been studied; the source gases were TiCl4 and O2. The amorphous, as-deposited films had a dielectric constant ∼33 consistent with their measured density of 3.2 ± 0.2 g cm−3. Films deposited using a −41 V substrate bias contained the anatase phase and some rutile as evidenced from infrared spectroscopy and x-ray scattering. Annealing of these films at 600 ◦C resulted in a significant increase in the rutile content of the film.

On the Crystal Structural Control of Sputtered TiO2 Thin Films
In this study, we focused on the origin on the selective deposition of rutile and anatase TiO2 thin films during the sputtering process. The observation on microstructural evolution of the TiO2 films by transmission electron microscopy revealed the coexistence of rutile and anatase TiO2 phases in the initial stage under the preferential growth conditions for the anatase TiO2; the observations f...
متن کاملTiO2-Based Nanomaterials for Gas Sensing—Influence of Anatase and Rutile Contributions
The paper deals with application of three nanomaterial systems: undoped TiO2, chromium-doped TiO2:Cr and TiO2-SnO2 synthesized by flame spray synthesis (FSS) technique for hydrogen sensing. The emphasis is put on the role of anatase and rutile polymorphic forms of TiO2 in enhancing sensitivity towards reducing gases. Anatase-to-rutile transformation is achieved by annealing of undoped TiO2 in a...

In sputtering deposition process of TiO2, metal Ti or sintered TiO2 target is used as deposition source. In this study, we have compared the characteristic of target materials. When TiO2 target was used, stoichiometric TiO2 films was deposited under the Ar atmosphere containing 1.0% of oxygen. The highest sputtering rate under this atmosphere was 3.9nm/min at 3.4W/cm2. But, sintered TiO2 target...
متن کاملWhy is anatase a better photocatalyst than rutile? - Model studies on epitaxial TiO2 films
The prototypical photocatalyst TiO2 exists in different polymorphs, the most common forms are the anatase- and rutile-crystal structures. Generally, anatase is more active than rutile, but no consensus exists to explain this difference. Here we demonstrate that it is the bulk transport of excitons to the surface that contributes to the difference. Utilizing high -quality epitaxial TiO2 films of...

Mixed-phase TiO2 nanocomposite thin films consisting of anatase and rutile prepared on commercially pure Ti sheets via the electrochemical anodization and annealing treatments were investigated in terms of their photocatalytic activity for antibacterial use around dental implants. The resulting films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The topo...
