  • Nanostructured titania
    Patent number: 7718552
    Abstract: A method and device of nanostructured titania that is crack free. A method in accordance with the present invention comprises depositing a Ti film on a surface, depositing a masking layer on the Ti film, etching said masking layer to expose a limited region of the Ti film, the limited region being of an area less than a threshold area, oxidizing the exposed limited region of the Th.ucsbi film, and annealing the exposed limited region of the Ti film.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2006
    Date of Patent: May 18, 2010
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Zuruzi Abu Samah, Noel C. MacDonald, Marcus Ward, Martin Moskovits, Andrei Kolmakov, Cyrus R. Safinya
