Description
Nanophases of TiO2 are achieved by irradiating polycrystalline thin films of TiO2 by 100 MeV Au ion beam at varying fluence. The surface morphology of pristine and irradiated films is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Phase of the film before and after irradiation is identified by glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD). The blue shift observed in UV-vis absorption edge of the irradiated films indicates nanostructure formation. Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies are carried out to identify defects created by the irradiation. The nanocrystallisation induced by SHI irradiation in polycrystalline thin films is studied
