The microstructural growth behaviors of the prepared Ag/TiO₂ thin films were elucidated using real-time synchrotron radiation imaging, its structure was determined using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), its morphology was imaged using the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and its surface topography was examined using the atomic force microscope (AFM) in contact mode. The cubical shape was detected and identified as Ag, while the anatase, TiO₂ thin film resembled a porous ring-like structure. It was found that each ring that coalesced and formed channels occurred at a low annealing temperature of 280 °C. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) result revealed a small amount of Ag presence in the Ag/TiO₂ thin films. From the in-situ synchrotron radiation imaging, it was observed that as the annealing time increased, the growth of Ag/TiO₂ also increased in terms of area and the number of junctions. The growth rate of Ag/TiO₂ at 600 s was 47.26 µm²/s, and after 1200 s it decreased to 11.50 µm²/s and 11.55 µm²/s at 1800 s. Prolonged annealing will further decrease the growth rate to 5.94 µm²/s, 4.12 µm2/s and 4.86 µm²/s at 2400 s, 3000 s and 3600 s, respectively. 2022 2022-03-23T01:05:20Z 2022-03-23T01:05:20Z 2021-01 Article Magnetochemistry, vol.7(1), 2021, 10 pages 2312-7481 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/74752 https://doi.org/10.3390/magnetochemistry7010014 en MDPI AG |
