摘要:
Thin anodic oxide films on titanium in sulphuric acid show bandgap enlargement of at least 0.2 eV provided that the anodization rate is slow and the formation potential limited. The origins of this effect are the occurrence of quantum-size effects and Burstein shifts. Upon aging of films at their formation potentials higher than 1.5 V, a held-assisted sintering process sets in that induces a relaxation of the bandgap to its nominal value.
