We report for the first time on mechanical properties of anodically formed, self-organized TiO 2 nanotube layers on titanium. We compare their behavior in their virgin state and after conversion to their semi-metallic form by an acetylene treatment. We show that the acetylene treatment leads to sign

✦ Synopsis
Fe-doped TiO 2 powders were obtained by mechanical alloying. The starting materials were anatase TiO 2 and metallic iron (a-Fe) or hematite (a-Fe 2 O 3 ). The influence of different milling conditions such as: ball to powder weight ratio, milling time, rotation velocity of supporting disc, and dopant concentration on the structural and magnetic properties were investigated. All experiments were performed in atmospheric conditions. The milled powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using Rietveld refinement and room temperature Mo¨ssbauer spectrometry. The XRD patterns of all samples show the coexistence of both anatase and rutile phases and also the high-pressure srilankite phase. Mo¨ssbauer spectra reveal the presence of Fe 2þ and Fe 3þ states in Fe-doped TiO 2 as well as a-Fe or a-Fe 2 O 3 in samples obtained from metallic iron or hematite, respectively. The Fe 3þ contribution could be attributed to Fe incorporated in the TiO 2 structure and the Fe 2þ can be probably assigned to surface ferrous ions in the TiO 2 .

Ball-milling is a way of inducing phase transformations, chemical reactions, and changes in the reactivity of solids. It is a complex process for which several models have been developed to predict the evolution of systems and to describe its physics. These models sometimes empirically need experime
