M. Gartner et al., SPECTROELLIPSOMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION OF LANTHANIDE-DOPED TIO2 FILMS OBTAINED VIA THE SOL-GEL TECHNIQUE, Thin solid films, 234(1-2), 1993, pp. 561-565
TiO2(Ln) films deposited by the sol-gel and dip coating technique on S
i wafers and soda-lime glass as substrates have been characterized by
spectroscopic ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Ruthe
rford backscattering spectroscopy. Among the various factors that affe
ct the optical and structural properties of oxide films we focus in th
is paper on the substrate and the lanthanides (La, Eu, Sm, Gd) as dopa
nts.
