Abstract

Microraman and scanning electron microscopy studies have been performed on pure TiO2 and Nb-Ti-O nanopowders obtained by laser induced synthesis. The effect of Nb content on the temperature of the anatase to rutile phase transformation, induced by annealing in air at different temperatures, has been evidenced and related to the changes in the particle size distributions obtained from a Fourier analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns.
