Low-energy electron diffraction and auger electron spectroscopy study of the oxidation of Ti {0001} at room temperature

Oxygen and titanium sputtering yields as determined by laser fluorescence and auger electron spectroscopy for monolayer oxygen coverage of polycrystalline Ti

“…2 having the lowest sputtering yield and with a transition from the C region also at O/Ti (AES) of ^.1. In addition, a change in slope at this point has been seen in the kinetics of oxidation [17]. It should be noted that…”

High temperature hydrogenation of Ti–V alloys: The effect of cycling and carbon monoxide on the bulk and surface properties

“…The oxygen peak at~513 eV appears to be rather dominant, and oxygen is naturally bound to Ti since the prominent Ti peaks at~388 eV and~419 eV are very strong. Previous observations have shown that possible compounds giving such spectra are TiO and TiO 2 [28,29]. A weak vanadium peak at 473 eV was observed in addition, most likely in the form of a mixture of three various vanadium oxides.…”

Oxidation of Thin Titanium Films: Determination of the Chemical Composition of the Oxide and the Oxygen Diffusion Factor

“…There are also disagreements regarding the stoichiometric composition of the oxides formed during the oxidation process. In some works, it is pointed out that TiO 2 grows on the surface at large exposure to oxygen [7,23], while in other works [11,15,24], the formation of TiO and Ti 2 O 3 oxides is assumed; additionally, there are other authors that declare the formation of a mixture of various oxides [6,8,12,13,25]. In [12,19], it is suggested that the composition of the oxides on the surface is affected by surface pretreatment, the oxygen pressure at which oxidation occurs [26], and the substrate temperature [13].…”
