Popis: The diffusion of interstitial Ti3+ species (Tii3+) in rutile TiO2(110) from the bulk to the surface has been studied utilizing two experimental techniques. Electron-stimulated desorption of O+ ions was employed to kinetically monitor the reaction between oxygen adatoms with Tii3+ species at temperatures between 360 and 400 K. Scanning tunneling microscopy was also used to measure the Tii3+ diffusion rate. Both methods yield a rate constant kTii3+ = 5 × 10−4 s−1 at 393 K. The activation energy as measured by the rate dependence on temperature is ∼1.0 eV.
