Description

The oxide layers of electrolytic oxidized titanium (Ti) were characterized using Ti L2,3 and O K edge X-ray absorption. The spectra show that the structure of the oxide layers that are formed during a 1 min treatment are dependent on the concentration of the electrolyte (H2SO4 or Na2SO4) with which the Ti surface was treated, and also on the magnitude of the potential that was applied during the anodic oxidation process (100 V or 150 V). It is found that a potential of 150 V and an electrolyte concentration of 0.5 M or 1.0 M produces a layer of TiO2 having rutile crystal structure
