TiO2 nanorod films with diverse and evolutionary morphologies are synthesized by controllable hydrothermal method under mild conditions. The as-prepared nanorod films are well characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Results demonstrate that...

A set of thin tantalum films was prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering using different substrate temperatures and sputtering power. In order to identify the optimal condition for hillock free thin tantalum (Ta) film deposition, AFM was employed to measure surface morphology of the...
