Production of nanostructured TiO2 films by pulsed laser deposition

Abstract

The possibility of titanium dioxide films formation by pulsed laser deposition was studied. It was found that the titanium dioxide nanorods were formed on the surface of quartz glass under certain conditions. Сraters with diameter about 40-50 μm and depth about 5-10 μm were formed on the target surface exposed with the nanosecond laser pulse. Electronic structure of the samples was studied by energy dispersive X-ray spectrum. Energy transitions of electrons determined from the energy dissipating spectra.
