Abstract: Single-layer titanium dioxide (TiO2, ZnO, double-layer TiO2/ZnO and multilayer TiO2/ZnO/TiO2/ZnO were grown on ordinary glass substrate by ultrasonic spray deposition at 300∘C. Titanium chloride, zinc acetate and deionized water were employed as precursors. The ultraviolet–visible spectrometer spectra show that the quality of optical transmittance in visible wavelength range decreases as the number of bilayers increases. The crystalline phase of the thin films was identified through X-ray diffraction method with diffraction patterns scan used at 2θ from 10∘ to 90∘. From the DRX results, it is found that the crystallinity is enhanced when the number of TiO2/ZnO layers increased. From the 2D/3D atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis, it is found that the surface of the films was covered by triangle-like particles. However, bilayer and multilayer TiO2/ZnO thin films show smooth and compacted surface roughnesses compared to single-layer TiO2 and ZnO, respectively. In addition to this experimental work, a multichannel filter based on TiO2/ZnO subphotonic crystals is suggested. The transmission properties of this filter have been investigated by means of the transfer-matrix method (TMM). The idea is to import a wedge of air with an apex angle as the defect layer to disturb the original periodicity of the oxide photonic crystal and generate some new kind of multichannel filtering properties.
