The effect of CoO impurity and substrate temperature on optical properties of TiO2 thin films

We have investigated the influence of the CoO impurity and that of the substrate temperature on the transmittance spectra of the as-deposited and annealed titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films prepared by means of the electron-beam evaporation technique. Also we have investigated the polarimetric properties of the undoped TiO2 thin film using the Mueller matrix polarimetry technique.
