Abstract
Nanostructured titanium dioxide thin films were prepared using reactive pulsed laser ablation technique. Effects of annealing on the structural, morphological, electrical and optical properties are discussed. The structural, electrical and optical properties of TiO~2~ films are found to be sensitive to annealing temperature and are described with GIXRD, SEM, AFM, UVโVisible spectroscopy and electrical studies. Xโray diffraction studies showed that the asโdeposited films were amorphous and at first changed to anatase and then to rutile phase with increase of annealing temperature. Optical constants of these films were derived from the transmission spectra and the refractive index dispersion of the films, subjected to annealing at different temperatures, is discussed in terms of the single oscillatorโWemple and Didomenico model.
