Characterization of the Solid State Properties of Anodic Oxides on Magnetron Sputtered Ta, Nb and Ta-Nb Alloys
2012
Tantalum oxide, niobium oxide and Ta-Nb containing mixed oxides were grown by anodizing sputter-deposited Ta, Nb and Ta-Nb alloys of different compositions. A photoelectrochemical investigation was performed in order to estimate the band gap and the flat band potential of the oxides as a function of their composition. The band gap of the investigated Ta-Nb containing mixed oxides changed monotonically between those estimated for Ta2O5 (4.1 eV) and Nb2O5 (3.4 eV) and in agreement with a proposed correlation between the Band gap of an oxide and the difference of electronegativity of the oxide constituents. From the differential capacitance curves recorded in a wide range of electrode potentia…

Characterization of the Solid State Properties of Anodic Oxides on Ta-Nb Alloys as a Function of the Anodizing Conditions
2011
Tantalum oxide, niobium oxide and Ta-Nb containing mixed oxides were grown by anodizing sputter-deposited TaxNb(1-x) alloys with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. A photoelectrochemical investigation was performed in order to estimate the band gap values of the oxides as a function of their composition as well as to estimate their flat band potential. Differential capacitance curves were recorded for all the investigated oxides in a wide range of electrode potential and for several frequencies of the alternative signal. The dependence of C on the applied potential and a.c. frequency was interpreted on the basis of amorphous semiconductor Schottky barrier, and allowed to estimate the dielectric constant of the inv…
