摘要
The Influence of crystal structure and surface coating-on the photoelectric properties of TiO2 pigments was studied using the transient photo-EMF. Amorphous TiO2 did not show any photo-EMF signal showing that it is not a photo conductor. The-crystalline TiO2 modifications, anatase and rutile, behave like n-type photoconductors. In comparison to rutile, the maximum photo-EMF of anatase was significantly larger.-While the photo-EMF signal of the rutile changed under repetitive laser flash exposure, the signal of, anatase did not depend on number of flashes. This shows that only rutile contains a small amount of very deep traps. So in rutile-a small part of charge carriers live longer than in anatase. Coating anatase with the photoelectrically inert Ba(OH)(2)*nH(2)O or BaCO3 reduced the photo-EMF signal. The epitaxial coating of rutile with SiO2 and Al2O3 resulted in a complex photo-EMF signal that displayed two negative maximum voltages. Such behaviour suggests that heterojunctions may exist in the substrate. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
