Investigation of structural, optical and electrical properties of (Ti,Nb)Ox thin films deposited by high energy reactive magnetron sputtering

Abstract: In this work the results of investigations of the titanium-niobium oxides thin films have been reported. The thin films were manufactured with the aid of a modified reactive magnetron sputtering process. The aim of the research was the analysis of structural, optical and electrical properties of the deposited thin films. Additionally, the influence of post-process annealing on the properties of studied coatings has been presented. The as-deposited coatings were amorphous, while annealing at 873 K caused a stru… Show more

“…However, since there is no Ti 2 O 3 phase evident in the XRD and Raman spectroscopy data, the identified Ti 3+ oxidation states are plausible to originate from the formation of oxygen vacancies as the defect states in the TiO 2 thin-film network. The deconvolution of the Ti 2p spectra was performed considering all of those associated peaks, as depicted in Figure (a–c). The Ti 3+ to Ti 4+ ratio was estimated from the deconvoluted aerial ratio in the Ti-2p 3/2 spectra.…”

“…Portanto, filmes de TiO 2 :Nb, obtidos por oxidação de filmes de Ti-Nb metálico, apresentaram menor rugosidade (na ordem de nanômetros) e valores de ângulo de contato um pouco maiores do que em filmes de TiO 2 puros, quando ativados por luz UV. Essa pequena diminuição da hidrofilicidade dos filmes TiO 2 :Nb, em relação ao TiO 2 puro pode estar relacionado a dois fatores: 1) menor rugosidade superficial; e 2) mudança na energia de superfície dos filmes de TiO 2 :Nb devido à injeção de elétrons, pelo nióbio, da camada de valência para a camada de condução, como relatado na seção de introdução deste trabalho [7].…”

“…Além disso, os átomos de Ti são dispostos na rede cristalina do TiO 2 como íons de Ti 4+ enquanto que o nióbio (substitucional) entra na rede cristalina como íon Nb 5+ . Dessa forma, cada átomo de Nb, em solução sólida, fornece um elétron adicional, o qual é injetado na banda de condução da rede cristalina, podendo alterar significativamente as propriedades físico-químicas dos filmes TiO 2 :Nb [7]. A dopagem com Nb modifica o desempenho fotocatalítico de filmes TiO 2 :Nb, aumenta a condutividade elétrica e pode aumentar a absorção de luz na faixa do visível.…”
