Epilayer control of photodeposited materials during UV photocatalysis

Epilayer control of photoassisted oxidation and reduction on the ferroelectric PbTiO 3 polar surface was investigated. Photo-oxidation of a AgNO 3 electrolyte resulting in formation of Ag 7 NO 11 particles was observed on the PbTiO 3 / Nb : SrTiO 3 film surface; whereas PbTiO 3 / SrRuO 3 / SrTiO 3 l...

Zusammenfassung:Epilayer control of photoassisted oxidation and reduction on the ferroelectric PbTiO 3 polar surface was investigated. Photo-oxidation of a AgNO 3 electrolyte resulting in formation of Ag 7 NO 11 particles was observed on the PbTiO 3 / Nb : SrTiO 3 film surface; whereas PbTiO 3 / SrRuO 3 / SrTiO 3 leads to AgNO 3 reduction under UV illumination. The oxidation reaction resulting in the formation of Ag 7 NO 11 is explained in terms of a rectifying interface between PbTiO 3 and Nb : SrTiO 3 , controlling the charge transport during UV photocatalysis.
