TLDR
It is found that the magnetizations of the TM-doped TiO2 films decrease with increasing dopant content, which is related to electric disorder due to the ART.Abstract:
Transition metal (TM)-doped TiO2 films (TM = Co, Ni, and Fe) were deposited on Si(100) substrates by a sol–gel method. With the same dopant content, Co dopants catalyze the anatase-to-rutile transformation (ART) more obviously than Ni and Fe doping. This is attributed to the different strain energy induced by the different dopants. The optical properties of TM-doped TiO2 films were studied with spectroscopic ellipsometry data. With increasing dopant content, the optical band gap (EOBG) shifts to lower energy. With the same dopant content, the EOBG of Co-doped TiO2 film is the smallest and that of Fe-doped TiO2 film is the largest. The results are related to electric disorder due to the ART. Ferromagnetic behaviors were clearly observed for TM-doped TiO2 films except the undoped TiO2 film which is weakly magnetic. Additionally, it is found that the magnetizations of the TM-doped TiO2 films decrease with increasing dopant content.read more

Enhanced Rate Capability and Cycle Performance of Titanium-Substituted P2-Type Na0.67Fe0.5Mn0.5O2 as a Cathode for Sodium-Ion Batteries.
TL;DR: The enhanced rate capability and cycling stability were attributed to the enlargement of the NaO2 slab in the crystal structure because of Ti doping, which promoted Na-ion diffusion and prevented the phase transition from the P2 to the OP4/″Z″ structure.

TL;DR: Applications of a density-functional theory of nonuniform fluid mixtures to the fluid-solid transition of simple binary mixtures of hard spheres demonstrates the importance of relative atomic sizes in determining lattice constants and suggests that for sufficiently small disparities in atomic size Vegard's law may also hold along the fluid -solid coexistence curve.

TL;DR: In this paper, a scheme for fitting the Ni 2p spectra using multiplet envelopes is proposed, based on charge transfer assignments of the main peak at 854.6 eV and the broad satellite centred at around 861 eV to the cd 9 L and the unscreened cd 8 final state configurations, respectively.

Electrical and optical properties of TiO2 anatase thin films
TL;DR: In this article, the metastable phase anatase has been shown to have a wider optical absorption gap than rutile thin films, which is consistent with the high mobility, bandlike conduction observed in anatase crystals.
