Using resistive heated method, Ti films of different thickness ranging from 10 to 200 nm were deposited and post-annealed at a temperature of 473K with a flow of oxygen. The optical properties were measured by transmission spectroscopy in spectral range of 200-2500 nm. The optical functions were obtained from the Kramers-Kronig analysis of the reflectivity curves. The effective medium approximation analysis was employed to establish the relationship between the nano-structure and Effective-Media Approximation (EMA) predictions.It was found the temperature of deposition and thefilm thickness play important roles in the nano-structure of the film and cause significant variations in the optical behaviour of thin Titanium oxide films.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
