Abstract

In this work, we grow TiO2 nanotube layers by using the single-step direct anodization of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy in aqueous electrolytes containing F− ions. Nanotube layers are characterized by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM). We also use SE to monitor the anodization process for TiO2 nanotube layers on biocompatible Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy. In addition, we study mechanical properties by nanoindentation.
