Effect of Annealing Temperature on Titanium Dioxide Thin Films Prepared by Sol Gel Method

Annealing temperature effect on the electrical characteristics and pH sensitivity of TiO<inf>2</inf>/ZnO bilayer films

“…According to Ahmad et al [16], annealing process produces electronic contacts between the particle, support and also all the particles of the film. We then relate the conductivity of the thin film with the pH-sensing sensitivity of the thin films shown in Fig.…”

Effect of swift heavy ion irradiation on structural and opto-electrical properties of bi-layer CdS–Bi2S3 thin films prepared by solution growth technique at room temperature

“…Annealing involves heating and controlled cooling of material, which enhances the size of the crystal and rearrange them periodically to reduce defects. The process leads to conversion of small grains into larger one or cluster of the grains (Kumar et al, 2010;Nanda et al, 2002;Ahmad et al, 2010). Fig.…”

Improving the wear and corrosion resistance of CoCrMo-UHMWPE articulating surfaces in the presence of an electrolyte

“…In fabricating sol-gel coating on a metallic substrate for abrasion applications, the adhesion strength of the coating is the most important measure of the coating quality. It is well known that the quality of sol-gel coating mainly depends on the sintering temperature [28][29]. In order to determine the most suitable sintering temperature, scratch test was used to semi-quantitatively measure the adhesion strength and hence to select the best sintering temperature.…”
