“…In the case of TiO 2 the corresponding interband transitions (i.e. O2p 3 Ti3d) are observed around 6 eV in good agreement with data in the literature [13,14]. Other features observed at 24 eV for TiN and at 25.7 eV for TiO 2 are assigned to transitions between the respective valence band and Ti4sp states [15].…”

The dielectric properties of metallic Ti and thin films of TiO2 and TiN in the energy range from 1.5 to 60 eV have been determined by quantitative analysis of the respective electron energy loss spectra in the reflection mode (REELS). The energy loss function (ELF) of every material, that is proportional to Im {1/ε}, is obtained by trial and error until a good quantitative agreement between the simulated and experimental inelastic electron scattering cross‐sections at three different primary electron energies (i.e. 0.5, 1 and 1.5 keV) is achieved. Kramers‐Kronig transformation is then used to obtain real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function ε(ω). In addition, spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to improve the ELF in the 1.5 to 4.5 eV energy range where it is strongly affected by the experimental energy resolution and the presence of the elastic peak. The characteristic differences among the spectra of the particular compounds are discussed in terms of different electronic properties.

“…For comparison, the spectra of the corresponding oxides (Sc,O,, Y,O,, ZrO,, HfO,) are also given here. The discussion of the experimental results related to these oxides is difficult, due to the lack of knowledge about their electronic structure and will be drawn from previous considerations about titanium and its two oxide phases T i 0 and TiO, [14].…”

The characteristic energy losses suffered b y a 20 keV electron beam through thin films of some transition metals (Sc, Y, Zr, Hf) and of their oxides are measured using a magnetic spectrograph u p t o 50 eV. The energy loss function -1m 1/& and the complex diclectric constant are calculated. It is shown that the electron excitation spectra of metals contain two main contributions in this energy range: one due t o collective excitations of the conduction electrons, the other t o the excitation of inner p-electrons. In the case of oxides the spectra display three strong structures: there are probably two collective excitations of valence electrons followed by the excitation of inner p-electrons of the metal.Les pertes caractkristiques d'6nergie subies par u n faisceau d'6lectrons de 20 keV B la traverske de films minces de quelques m6taux de transitions placks en dkbut de s6rie (Sc, Y, Zr, Hf) e t de leurs oxydes ont 6t6 mesur6es avec un spectrographe magnetique jusqu'i 50 eV.

“…The dominant feature in both spectra is the alumina plasmon which shifts from 22.3 eV (no anneal) to 24.8 eV (anneal at 1000 ± C) due to the increase in electron density with crystallization. 16 The volume titania 17 and alumina plasmons are in the same energy range, but the titania peak is much weaker than the alumina peak in the composite spectrum because of the small volume fraction ratio of the titania islands relative to the alumina substrate The low energy titania spectrum was obtained by subtracting the substrate spectrum from the composite spectrum with the relative weight of the two spectra chosen to minimize the peak at 25 eV in the subtracted spectrum. The subtracted spectrum is in error at high energy because multiple scattering contributions are not reproduced correctly by this procedure and because we are oversubtracting the substrate spectrum since the volume plasmon for titania overlaps the alumina plasmon.…”

“…The spectrum for rutile is in agreement with transmission EELS measurements by Frandon et al on a 400Å 21 thick, polycrystalline rutile film. 17 The absorption edges for all three materials were fit well by the Tauc model [intensity~(E 2 E g ) 2 ] and the derived gaps were 3.34 6 0.03 eV, 3.11 6 0.08 eV, and 2.71 6 0.13 eV for amorphous titania, anatase, and rutile, respectively. The difference between the Tauc 19 The optical gap for amorphous titania has not been reported previously, and these measurements indicate that it is larger than the rutile and anatase optical gaps.…”

Small titania particles, prepared by hydrolysis and condensation using in situ steric stabilization, have been studied by high-energy, transmission, electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Electron diffraction patterns and energy-loss spectra as a function of momentum transfer were measured for as-prepared particles (amorphous titania), particles annealed at 600 ± C (primarily anatase), and particles annealed at 1000 ± C (primarily rutile). The energy-loss spectra at low momentum disagreed with the loss function calculated from optical data (rutile) and disagreed with theory (rutile and anatase). The data was fit by an Elliot-like model for a resonant exciton interacting with a continuum of levels. The translational effective mass of the exciton derived from the fitting was quite large, indicating that it was self-trapped.
