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

Abstract
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.
