TiO2 thin films prepared by PLD for photocatalytic applications

The effects of pulse repetition rate on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of CIGS films grown by pulsed laser deposition

“…Although there were several previous studies on the PLD growth of CIGS [8,[10][11][12][13][14][15], the influence of the pulse repetition rate has barely been investigated. From the experience of the PLD growth of other thin films, such as diamond, AlN, TiO 2 , ZnO, etc., we know that the effect of the repetition rate is equally important [16][17][18][19][20]. Typical laser repetition rates applied in PLD range from a few Hz to a few tens of Hz [21].…”

Effect of annealing on the structural, electrical and optical properties of nanostructured TiO2 thin films

“…TiO 2 thin films can be prepared by different techniques such as reactive magnetron sputtering [7], sol-gel [8] and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) [9]. In the present study preparation of nanostructured titanium dioxide thin films using pulsed laser ablation technique in reactive atmosphere is discussed.…”

Titanium oxide nanostructured films by reactive pulsed laser deposition

“…PLD has been widely employed to produce titanium oxide films with different morphology, crystallinity and phase [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Nitrogen doping has been also investigated exploiting suitable gas mixtures in order to shift optical absorption to the visible range [19].…”
