X-ray diffraction images of the two regions on the patterned substrates

The graph on the top represents the modified, nano region while the graph on the bottom represents the original, unmodified Ti surface. The graph indicates the presence of rutile TiO on the conventional region while the nano rough region contains anatase TiO.
