We deposited high-quality TiO2 films by an oxygen-radical beam-assisted evaporation (RBE) method at a lower substrate temperature (Ts) than that for a TiO2 film deposited by conventional thermal evaporation (TE) with neutral-oxygen gas. The films were then evaluated in terms of refractive index, shift of wavelength of a peak in the reflection curve, and absorption coefficient. The TiO2 films deposited by RBE at Ts < 473 K showed higher refractive indices, were more compact, and had lower absorption coefficients than the film deposited by TE at Ts = 473 K.

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.
