Deposition of thin films of TiO2 from Langmuir–Blodgett film precursors

Excellent quality thin TiO2 films have been obtained by the thermal decomposition of n‐octadecyl amine‐titanyl oxalate complex multilayer Langmuir–Blodgett films. The films were characterized by x‐ray diffraction and x‐ray photoemission studies. X‐ray diffraction studies suggest a preferred orientation of the TiO2 films.
