Abstract
The electronic structure of cross-linked TiO2(110)-(1×2) has been investigated using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) and by monitoring changes in ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) following exposure of the surface to O2. STS reveals two states located in the bandgap, at 0.7 and 1.5 eV below the Fermi level. The population of these two states varies over different parts of the (1×2)- reconstructed surface. An addition state at 1.1 eV above the Fermi level is observed at the double link part of the structure. All of the bandgap states are attenuated following exposure to O2, while the workfunction is increased. We attribute this to an electron transfer from the surface to the adsorbed oxygen.
