Abstract

The TiO₂/SiO₂ materials system has had renewed interest in recent years due to its photoelectric and photocatalytic properties, and serves as an ideal model system for liquid-phase sintering studies (LPS). In this study, glass SiO₂ films of three different nanoscale thicknesses were deposited onto (001) rutile TiO₂ substrates. The resulting dewet patterns of the glass were found to change depending on the initial film thickness when subjected to identical annealing conditions. In addition, changing the crucible type from Pt to Al₂O₃, caused films of the same thickness to undergo different convection mechanisms and thus developing very different surface patterns. It is proposed that Marangoni convection drove pattern formation when a Pt crucible was used, while the Rayleigh instability was responsible for dewetting when an Al₂O₃ crucible was used.
