Abstract

In the present study, the effect of titania (TiO2) substrate grain size and orientation on the epitaxial growth of TiO2 splat was investigated. Interestingly, the splat presented comparable grain size with that of substrate, indicating the hereditary feature of grain size. In addition, hetero- and homo-orientation epitaxial growth was observed at deposition temperatures below 400 °C and above 500 °C, respectively. The preferential growth of high-energy (001) face was also observed at low deposition temperatures (≤ 400 °C), which was found to result from dynamic nonequilibrium effect during the thermal spray deposition. Moreover, thermal spray deposition paves the way for a new approach to prepare high-energy (001) facets of TiO2 crystals.
