Abstract

Titanium oxide films were prepared by ion beam enhanced deposition where the films were synthesized by deposition titianium atoms and simultaneously bombarding with xenon ion beam at an energy of 40 keV in an $O_2$ environ,ent. Structure and composition of titanium oxide films were investigated by X-ray Doffractopm (XRD) Ritjerfprd Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and X-ray Diffraction(XRD) Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) The results show that thestructure of the prepared films exhibit a rutile phase structure wit high(200) orientation and the O/Ti ratio of the titanium oxide films was about 2:1 XPS anlysis shows that $Ti^{2+},Ti^{3+}\;and\;Ti^{4+}$ chemical states exist on the titanium oxide films. the blood compatibility of the titanium oxide films was studied by measurements of blood clotting time and platelet adhesion. The results show that the anticoagulation property of titanium oxide films improved significantly and better than that of LTI-carbon which was widely used to fabricate artificial heart valve.
