In this work, rutile titanium dioxide (TiO 2) films were prepared on quartz and SiO 2 /Si substrates utilizing RF magnetron reactive sputtering technology. Crystal structure, surface morphology and optical property of these films were characterized to verify the obtainment of well crystalline rutile TiO 2 films. The dynamics of photocarriers were studied by using temporally resolved transient absorption measurements. The differential reflectivity as a function of pump fluence was investigated. We also directly obtained a carrier lifetime of about 286 ps. The absorption cross-section and the absorption coefficient of free carrier at 800 nm were 1.87×10-17 cm 2 and 32.9 cm-1 , respectively.
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.
