摘要: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is used to identify photoinduced titanium-associated electron traps in TiO2 crystals (rutile). Defect production occurs at low temperature with 442 nm laser light. Spectra S=1/2 and S=1 are assigned singly ionized neutral oxygen vacancies, respectively. These vacancies have their unpaired spins localized on the two neighboring titanium ions aligned along c axis. A Ti3+ ion next a Si4+ ion, self-trapped electron, hole shared by adjacent also observed. Isolated substitutional Fe3+ Cr3+ serve as traps.
