Abstract:The influences of TiO 2 contents on the structural, optical, mechanical, and moisture resistant properties of CaF 2 -TiO 2 composite films prepared by reactive ion-assisted codeposition are systematically investigated. The CaF 2 films deposited at an ambient substrate temperature are found to have superior optical, mechanical, and moisture resistant properties with the addition of 10 at. % TiO 2 . The structure of this film changes from polycrystalline CaF 2 to a mixed phase of amorphous TiO 2 and polycrystall… Show more
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.
