The electronic properties of N-doped rutile TiO2(110) have been investigated using synchrotron-based photoemission and density-functional calculations. The doping via N+2 ion bombardment leads to the implantation of N atoms (∼5% saturation concentration) that coexist with O vacancies. Ti 2p core level spectra show the formation of Ti3+ and a...

Mixed-metal oxides play a very important role in many areas of chemistry, physics, materials science, and geochemistry. Recently, there has been a strong interest in understanding phenomena associated with the deposition of oxide nanoparticles on the surface of a second (host) oxide. Here, scanning tunneling microscopy, photoemission, and...
