dc.description.abstractA study of the nanoscale crystallinity of anodized TiO2 nanotubes is reported with the aim of demonstrating its influence on the localized optical and electronic properties of the structure. By employing scanning transmission electron microscopy, coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and electron energy filtered jump-ratio imaging to probe changes in the electron near edge fine structure of the Ti L3,2 ionization edge, it is found that nanotubes annealed at 450 °C in air for 3 h crystallize in the anatase polymorph along their walls, with the underlying thick oxide barrier layer being predominantly rutile.en_US
