Coordination chemistry of titanium and zinc in Ti(1−x)Zn2xO2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) ultrathin films grown by DC reactive magnetron sputtering

摘要

XANES and RBS were used to explore the structural phase and composition transitions of ultrathin films with Ti (1-x)Zn 2xO 2 stoichiometries, from very low (∼0.5 at.%) to high (∼25 at.%) titanium content. In this way, the coordination chemistry of Ti 4+ and Zn 2+ cations was examined for a wide range of oxide compositions. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
