Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) thin film prepared in a simple chemical method, on an optically flat a glass substrate. The effect of the annealing temperature on a structural and the optical properties of TiO 2 films is studied systematically by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), UV-VIS spectroscopy . The XRD patterns show that the deposited films and the annealed films are polycrystalline and the average grain size of the crystallite grains ranges from 41 to 50 nm in films. AFM images reveal a regular grain distribution of grains in films and the grains in the nanoscale dimension. The UV-Vis rays results show that increase in transmittance with increase the annealing temperature, also ,the energy gap decreases from 3.6 to 2.6 volts, due to the effect of quantum volume.
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.
