Analysis of the TiO₂ Nanotubes Structure Ordering in the Correlation-Spectral Representation

Abstract:

In the paper, the array ordering of the TiO₂ nanotubes obtained by method of the anodic oxidation in different modes in the fluorine-containing aqueous-non-aqueous electrolytes containing glycerin as well as the surface-active reagents is considered. It was shown that such characteristics as the two-dimensional Fourier-spectrum, autocorrelation function and its spectrum allow us to identify the ordering nature and to obtain the preliminary quantitative estimates of SEM order.
