The results show that, compared with the TiO2 film without SiO2 overlayer, when the TiO2 film is thoroughly covered by SiO2 overlayer, the hydrophilicity and the sustained effect are enhanced. It is found that the significant growth of the OH- group occurs in the surface of SiO2 overlayer. The different mechanism of enhanced hydrophilicity between SiO2 overlayer on TiO2 films and TiO2/SiO2 mixing films was analyzed. The result suggests that the photo-generated electrons created in the interface between TiO2 and SiO2 tend to reduce the Ti(Ⅳ) cation to the Ti(Ⅲ) state, and the photogenerated holes transmit through the SiO2 layer to uppermost surface efficiently. Once the holes go up to the surface, they tend to make the surface hydrophilic. The stable hydrophilicity of SiO2 overlayer which adsorbs more stable OH groups, enhances the sustained effect, i.e. the super-hydrophilic state can be maintained for a long time in dark place.展开更多

The resulting fluorescence spectra show that this kind of Ge/SiO_2 glasses emit strongphotoluminescence at 392 nm (3.12 eV), medium strong photoluminescence at 600 nm (2.05 eV)and weak photoluminescence at 770 nm (1.60 eV) respectively. Possible photoluminescencemechanisms are also discussed based on the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-rayphotoelectron spectra(XPS).展开更多
