Effects of Substrate Temperatures on the Structure and UV-shielding Properties of TiO2-CeO2 Films Deposited on Glass by Radio-frequency Magnetron Sputtering

TiO2-CeO2 films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates at varied substrate temperatures by rf magnetron sputtering using 40% molar TiO2-60% molar CeO2 ceramic target in Ar：O2=95：5 atmosphere.The structure,surface composition,UV-visible spectra of the films were measured by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,respectively.The experimental results show that the films are amorphous,there are only Ti^4＋ and Ce^4＋ on the surface of the films,the obtained TiO2-CeO2 films shou a good uniformity and high densification,and the films deposited on the glass can shield ultraviolet light without significant absorpition of visible light,the films deposited on substrates at room temperature and 220℃ absorb UV effectively.     

Preparation and Properties of Dip-coated CeO2-TiO2 Thin Golden Glass Film

The golden and ultraviolet-absorbed CeO2-TiO2 film was prepared on soda-lime glass substrate with the thickness of 2 mm via the sol-gel method. The transmission spectra in range of 200 nm-800 nm were measured, and the crystallization, the abrasion and acid resistance were also investigated. The appropriate sol contents and heat-treatment schedule were determined. The results indicate that the appropriate molar ratio of Ce/Ti was 3：5 to 5：6. The ultraviolet-absorbance ability increased with the increase of the Ce/Ti molar ratio, but when the Ce/Ti molar ratio was higher than 1.5, the homogeneity of the film was deteriorated. With the increase of heat-treatment temperature, the main wavelengths of the color of the coated glasses were equal, but the color＇ s saturation decreased; the transmission peaks were the same, while the intensity of the peaks decreased. The roughness, abrasion and acid resistance of the film were also enhanced at the same time. The appropriate heat- treatment temperature may be 340℃.

Preparation and Properties of a-Si：H Thin Films Deposited on Different Substrates

The effects of different substrates on the structure and hydrogen evolution from a-Si： H thin films deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition were studied, as well as the similar films exposed to an hydrogen plasma. Spectroscopic ellipsometry and hydrogen evolution measurements were used to analyse the effects of the substrate and hydrogen plasma on the films microstructure, thickness, hydrogen content, hydrogen bonding and hydrogen evolution. The hydrogen evolution spectra show a strong substrate dependence. In particular on crystalline silicon substrate, the formation of bubbles was observed. For different substrates, hydrogen plasma treatments lightly affected the hydrogen evolution spectra. These results indicate that the action of hydrogen in a-Si：H was modified by the nature of the substrate.

The crystalline of TiO2 nanometer thin film has important effects on the antibacterial activity of the film.     

Preparation and Properties of IrO2 Thin Films Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition Technique

Highly conductive IrO2 thin films were prepared on Si （100） substrates by means of pulsed laser deposition technique from an iridium metal target in an oxygen ambient atmosphere. Emphasis was put on the effect of oxygen pressure and substrate temperature on the structure, morphology and resistivity of IrO2 films. It was found that the above properties were strongly dependent on the oxygen pressure and substrate temperature. At 20 Pa oxygen ambient pressure, pure polycrystalline IrO2 thin films were obtained at substrate temperature in the 300-500℃ range with the preferential growth orientation of IrO2 films changed with the substrate temperature. IrO2 films exhibited a uniform and densely packed granular morphology with an average feature size increasing with the substrate temperature. The room-temperature resistivity variations of IrO2 films correlated well with the corresponding film morphology changes. IrO2 films with the minimum resistivity of （42 ±6）μΩ·cm was obtained at 500℃.     

Correlations between the Optical Properties and the Microstructure of TiO2 Thin Films Prepared by Reactive Electron-beam Evaporation

High refractive index TiO₂ thin films were deposited on BK7 glass by reactive electron—beam (REB) evaporation at pressure of 2×10⁻² Pa, deposition rate of 0.2 nm/s and at various substrate temperatures from 120°C to 300°C. The refractive index and the thickness of the films were measured by visible spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and determined from transmission spectra. Optical properties and structure features were characterized by UV-VIS, SEM and XRD, respectively. The measurement and analysis on transmission spectra of all samples show that with the substrate temperature increasing from 120°C to 300°C, the refractive indices of thin films increase from 1.7 to 2.1 and the films after heat treatment have higher refractive indices due to its crystallizing. The XRD analysis results indicate that the structure of TiO₂ thin films deposited on BK7 glass at substrate temperatures of 120°C, 200°C and 300°C is amorphous, after post-annealing under air condition at 400°C for 1 hour, the amorphous structure is crystallized, the crystal phase is of 100% anatase with strong preferred orientation (004) and the grain size of crystalline is within 3.6–8.1 nm, which is consistent with results from SEM observation.

The TiO₂ films were prepared on slides by dc reactive magnetron sputtering, then the samples were annealed at 300°C, 350°C, 400°C, 450°C, 500°C and 550°C, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to obtain the TiO₂ film crystalline structure; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the film surface stoichiometries; surface morphologies were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM); the contact angle was tested to indicate the TiO₂ film wettability; and the photocatalytic activity testing was conducted to evaluate the photocatalysis properties. The photocatalytic activity and contact angle testing results were correlated with the crystallinity, surface morphologies and surface ·OH concentration of TiO₂ films. The samples with a higher polycrystalline anatase structure, rough surface and high ·OH concentration displayed a better photoinduced hydrophilicity and a stronger photocatalysis.

The resuits indicate ： tire samples deposited at different pressures hare a cubical structure of CdTe and the diffraction peaks of CdS and SnO2 ： F. As the atmosphere pressure increases, the crystal size of CdTe decreases, the rate of the transparency of the thin film decreases and the absorption side moves towards the short-wave direction. After a 4-minute depositing process with a substrate teraw.rature of 500℃ and a source temperature of 620 ℃, the polycostallinc thin films can be mmade , so the production of high-quality integrated cell with StrO2： F/ CdS/ CdTe/ Au structure is hopeful.

The shell structure appeared to be composed of anatase titania nanocrystals at 550℃. The 2-layer coated TiO2 particles on the surface showed a higher degradation rate compared with all the dif-ferent-layer samples. The photocatalytic activity of Cu2+-doped TiO2/SiO2 was higher than that of undoped TiO2/SiO2. The optimum dopant content was about 0.10wt%.

The experimental results show that the thin films taking Ti2O3 as their raw material have a strong absorption, when taking Ti3O5 and TiO2 as raw materials, the thin films would have good optical properties. The experiments also show that, the crystal structure of all thin films is amorphous before post-annealing and the Ti3O5 is a congruent evaporation phase in the Ti-O system.
