EFFECT OF ZnFe2O4 DOPING ON THE OPTICALPROPERTIES OF TiO2 THIN FILMS

摘要

Amorphous TiO2 thin films and ZnFe2O4-doped TiO2 composite films were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The effect of ZnFe2O4 doping on the optical properties of TiO2 thin films was reported. Our results show that the absorption edge of TiO2 thin films and composite films exhibits a blueshift with decreasing annealing temperature. The absorption edge of composite films has moved to a visible spectrum range, and a very large redshift occurs in comparison with TiO2 thin films. An enhanced photoluminescence was observed in ZnFe2O4-doped anatase TiO2 thin films at room temperature.
