A Study on the Characteristic and Antibacterial Activity of Ti<sub>3</sub>O<sub>x</sub> Thin Films

A pure Ti target in Ar/O<sub>2</sub> gas mixture was used to synthesize Ti<sub>3</sub>O<sub>x</sub> thin film on a glass substrate by Reactive High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) under different sputtering power (2 and 2.5 kW). The influence of HiPIMS...
