Origin of significant visible-light absorption properties of Mn-doped TiO2 thin films
IF 3.755 (5-year IF 4.226). 11 citations.
A successful case study for developing “designer” materials under the guidance of fundamental modelling. The first attempt to correlate the redshift and chemical states of doping and host elements in Mn-doped TiO2, via the interaction between host elements, dopants and defects.
Work offers insightful guidance on materials processing for optimised performance.
The combined theoretical modelling and high-resolution XPS approach provides a powerful means in probing the fundamental origin for alloying/doping mechanisms.
The proposed high-resolution XPS valence band spectroscopy offers fingerprint evidence for the essential n- or p-doping characteristics.
