Popis: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is deposited on Si(111) substrate by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique and is investigated using Raman Spectroscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Raman Spectroscopy indicates that the as-deposited TiO2 film is in anatase phase. After sputtering in-situ in the XPS preparation chamber, TiO2 is reduced to TiO and Ti metal, and the reduction is more prominent in the top layers of the film.
