Thermal stability of the structure and optical properties of nanostructured TiO2 films
The structure and optical properties of the titanium dioxide films during annealing from 100 to 400 °C were studied. The films were obtained by ion-plasma high-frequency magnetron sputtering of polycrystalline rutile target in an argon atmosphere. It was shown that as-prepared TiO2 films are nanostructured with ~8 nm of rutile crystallite and ~ 3.3 Å of interplanar distance and contain a small fraction of anatase. Optical band gap of the films is 3.01 eV, the refractive index under normal conditions is 2.25. The films annealing from 100 to 400 °C practically does not change their structure, optical band gap and refractive index under normal conditions, i.e. the obtained nanostructured TiO2 films are thermal stable.
