Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Optical and plasmonic properties of TiN and Ti(O)N thin films were tuned at the synthesis stage by modulating the oxygen pressure during room‐temperature pulsed laser deposition. Ti(O)N thin films exhibiting a highly metallic and peculiar double‐epsilon‐near‐zero (DENZ) behavior were produced.
