Abstract: The optical and photocatalytic properties of Nb2O5 sculptured thin films (STF) are investigated. Films are synthesized via sol- gel route using spin coating technique. The sol is prepared from niobium ethoxide. The films are prepared at different rpm to tailor the thickness. The structures of the films are investigated through XRD measurements. Refractive index‚ extinction coefficient and thickness of the films are determined from Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometery. The absorbance
