Abstract

Among various methods used for the synthesis of TiO2 thin films, we have chosen the sol–gel route, which is widely used today due to its simplicity and low cost. The precursors solutions have been synthesized and doped at 10% at. with manganese, nickel and copper. The films were deposited using dip-coating technique with a constant withdraw speed on glass substrates. The UV–visible spectroscopy was applied to study the effect of doping on the optoelectronic properties of the material.
