Abstract:We report the synthesis of Fe 2 O 3 -TiO 2 thin films obtained with the sol-gel method by varying the Fe 2 O 3 wt% in the growing solution to 0, 25, 50 and 75. Glass was used as substrate. The films were characterized by means of the FTIR, Auger and UV-Vis spectroscopies. The results show that the Fe 2 O 3 -TiO 2 films are partially hydroxylated, the Fe incorporation into TiO 2 modify the optical properties by means of the Ti +4 reduction to Ti +3 species, and that the Fe concentration in the films increases w… 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.
