Antireflection coatings are used over the silicon surface which, without the coating, reflects ca 35% of incident sunlight. A typical coating consists of a single layer of a transparent dielectric material with a refractive index of ca 2, which is between the index of siUcon and ait or cover material. Materials such as titanium dioxide, tantalum pentoxide, Ta20, or siUcon nitride, Si N, ca 0.08-p.m thick are common. The coating and a physically textured... 

A stoichiometric product can be obtained by repeated grinding and reaction. Alternatively, carbothermal reduction of titanium dioxide can be used (33). The reaction is carried out in an inert atmosphere at ca 1600°C. 

Titanium Monoxide. Titanium monoxide [12137-20-17, TiO, has a rock-salt stmcture but can exist with both oxygen and titanium vacancies. For stoichiometric TiO, the lattice parameter is 417 pm, but varies from ca 418 pm at 46 atom % to 4I62 pm at 54 atom % oxygen. Apparendy, stoichiometric TiO has ca 15% of the Ti and O sites vacant. At high temperatures (>900° C), these vacancies are randomly distributed at low temperatures, they become ordered. Titanium monoxide may be made by heating a stoichiometric mixture of titanium metal and titanium dioxide powders at 1600°C... 

A high purity titanium dioxide of poorly defined crystal form (ca 80% anatase, 20% mtile) is made commercially by flame hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride. This product is used extensively for academic photocatalytic studies (70). The gas-phase oxidation of titanium tetrachloride, the basis of the chloride process for the production of titanium dioxide pigments, can be used for the production of high purity titanium dioxide, but, as with flame hydrolysis, the product is of poorly defined crystalline form unless special dopants are added to the principal reactants (71). 

Two pigment production routes ate in commercial use. In the sulfate process, the ore is dissolved in sulfuric acid, the solution is hydrolyzed to precipitate a microcrystalline titanium dioxide, which in turn is grown by a process of calcination at temperatures of ca 900—1000°C. In the chloride process, titanium tetrachloride, formed by chlorinating the ore, is purified by distillation and is then oxidized at ca 1400—1600°C to form crystals of the required size. In both cases, the taw products are finished by coating with a layer of hydrous oxides, typically a mixture of siUca, alumina, etc. 

Alkaline-Earth Titanates. Some physical properties of representative alkaline-earth titanates ate Hsted in Table 15. The most important apphcations of these titanates are in the manufacture of electronic components (109). The most important member of the class is barium titanate, BaTi03, which owes its significance to its exceptionally high dielectric constant and its piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Further, because barium titanate easily forms solid solutions with strontium titanate, lead titanate, zirconium oxide, and tin oxide, the electrical properties can be modified within wide limits. Barium titanate may be made by, eg, cocalcination of barium carbonate and titanium dioxide at ca 1200°C. With the exception of Ba2Ti04, barium orthotitanate, titanates do not contain discrete TiO ions but ate mixed oxides. Ba2Ti04 has the P-K SO stmcture in which distorted tetrahedral TiO ions occur. 

Iron Titanates. Ferrous metatitanate [12168-52-4] FeTiO, mp ca 1470°C, density 472(0), an opaque black soHd having a metallic luster, occurs in nature as the mineral ilmenite. This ore is used extensively as a feedstock for the manufacture of titanium dioxide pigments. Artificial ilmenite may be made by heating a mixture of ferrous oxide and titanium oxide for several hours at 1200°C or by reducing a titanium dioxide/ferric oxide mixture at 450°C. 

Titanium Trifluoride. The trifluoride (121) is a blue crystalline soHd, density 2980 kg/m, ia which the titanium atoms are six-coordinate at the center of a slightly distorted octahedron, where the mean Ti—F distance is 197 pm. Titanium trifluoride [13470-08-1] is stable ia air at room temperature but decomposes to titanium dioxide when heated to 100°C. It is insoluble ia water, dilute acid, and alkaUes but decomposes ia hot concentrated acids. The compound sublimes under vacuum at ca 900°C but disproportionates to titanium and titanium tetrafluoride [7783-63-3] at higher temperatures. 

Titanium Tetrachloride. Titanium tetrachloride [7550-45-0] is a clear, colorless Hquid, aormaHy made by the chlorination of titanium dioxide at ca 1000°C ia the preseace of a reduciag ageat. 

Titanium oxide dichloride [13780-39-8] TiOCl2, is a yellow hygroscopic soHd that may be prepared by bubbling ozone or chlorine monoxide through titanium tetrachloride. It is insoluble in nonpolar solvents but forms a large number of adducts with oxygen donors, eg, ether. It decomposes to titanium tetrachloride and titanium dioxide at temperatures of ca 180°C (136). 

Analogous with titanium tetrachloride, the tetrabromide may be made by the carbothermal bromination of titanium dioxide at ca 700°C,... 

Titanium Silicides. The titanium—silicon system includes Ti Si, Ti Si, TiSi, and TiSi (154). Physical properties are summarized in Table 18. Direct synthesis by heating the elements in vacuo or in a protective atmosphere is possible. In the latter case, it is convenient to use titanium hydride instead of titanium metal. Other preparative methods include high temperature electrolysis of molten salt baths containing titanium dioxide and alkalifluorosiUcate (155) reaction of TiCl, SiCl, and H2 at ca 1150°C, using appropriate reactant quantities for both TiSi and TiSi2 (156) and, for Ti Si, reaction between titanium dioxide and calcium siUcide at ca 1200°C, followed by dissolution of excess lime and calcium siUcate in acetic acid. 

Thermolysis is used in the coating of glass and other surfaces with a film of titanium dioxide. When a lower alkoxide, eg, TYZOR TPT, vaporizes in a stream of dry air and is blown onto hot glass botdes above ca 500°C, a thin, transparent protective coating of Ti02 is deposited. 

Barium titanate is usually produced by the soHd-state reaction of barium carbonate and titanium dioxide. Dielectric and pie2oelectric properties of BaTiO can be affected by stoichiometry, micro stmcture, and additive ions that can enter into soHd solution. In the perovskite lattice, substitutions of Pb ", Sr ", Ca ", and Cd " can be made for part of the barium ions, maintaining the ferroelectric characteristics. Similarly, the TP" ion can partially be replaced with Sn +, Zr +, Ce +, and Th +. The possibihties for forming solution alloys in all these stmctures offer a range of compositions, which present a...
