Synthesis of titanium-oxide nanoparticles with size and stoichiometry control
Source abstract
Abstract
Ti-O nanoparticles have been synthesized via hollow cathode sputtering in an Ar-O2 atmosphere using high power pulsing. It is shown that the stoichiometry and the size of the nanoparticles can be varied independently, the former through controlling the O2 gas flow and the latter by the independent biasing of two separate anodes in the growth zone. Nanoparticles with diameters in the range of 25 to 75 nm, and with different Ti-O compositions and crystalline phases, have been synthesized.
