Undoped and chromium doped titanium oxide thin films were fabricated by spray pyrolysis by using a solution of titanium tetrachloride and ethyl alcohol. The films have been deposited on heated glass substrates at 373 K. After annealing for 90 min at 723 K, the initially amorphous films became polycrystalline with a predominant anatase structure and average crystallite sizes depending on dopant (Cr) concentration. The repartition of chromium impurities in the matrix of titanium oxide films, analyzed by electron paramagnetic resonance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the entrance of chromium into the anatase structure is mainly achieved by substitution. A decrease in unit cell parameters ratio (c/a) with the increase of chromium content sustains this assertion. The wetting properties of the titanium oxide films were evaluated from contact angle measurements between de-ionized water and films surface during- and post-irradiation with UV light. The correlation between the concentration of the dopant, film structure, surface morphology and wettability characteristics is discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
