Hall-measurements on slightly reduced rutile (TiO2)

Extraordinary Hall effect and ferromagnetism in Fe-doped reduced rutile

Acetone Chemistry On Oxidized Rutile TiO2(110)

Surface defects are known to dominate both the electronic and chemical properties of metal oxide surfaces, an object of much study for use in catalytic processes. In order to study surface chemistry in detail, an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber was designed to combine a LEED and STM system. Construction is underway, with a reported initial base pressure of 10−9 Torr revealing no major leaks. On...

Rutile TiO2 nanobundles on reduced graphene oxides as anode materials for Li ion batteries.

A simple and steerable method was adopted to synthesize well-distributed rutile TiO2 nanobundles on reduced graphene oxides through two-step hydrothermal methods. The rutile TiO2-RGO composites were used as the anode materials in lithium ion batteries for investigation, which had an original morphology and a reversible capacity of 300 mA h g(-1) at 0.6 C and 200 mA h g(-1) at 1.2 C after 500 cy...

Co-occurrence of Superparamagnetism and Anomalous Hall Effect in Doped Rutile TiO2-δ Films

We report a detailed magnetic and structural analysis of highly reduced Co d displaying an anomalous Hall effect (AHE). The temperature and field dependen transmission electron microscopy clearly establish the presence of nano-sized s clusters of ~8–10 nm size in the films at the interface. The co-occurrence of s AHE raises questions regarding the use of the AHE as a test of the intrinsic natu ...

Dehydration and dehydrogenation of ethylene glycol on rutile TiO2(110).

The interactions of ethylene glycol with a partially reduced rutile TiO2(110) surface have been studied using temperature programmed desorption (TPD). The saturation coverage on surface Ti rows is determined to be 0.43 monolayer (ML), slightly less than one ethylene glycol per two Ti sites. Most of the adsorbed ethylene glycol (∼80%) undergoes further reactions to yield other products. Two majo...
