Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāA transparent titanium dioxide and carbon nanowall composite (B-CNW/TiO2) material was fabricated by growing boron-doped carbon nanowalls (B-CNWs) on quartz glass with microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique, followed by sol-gel deposition using titanium isopropoxide as a TiO2 precursor. Different layer thicknesses were fabricated. Samples were investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry and UV-VIS spectroscopy. Results shows how the B-CNW thickness affects the optical transmittance, bandgap and electrical conductivity. Full Text: PDF ReferencesWang, H., Quan, X., Yu, H. & Chen, S.
