BYTo complete the X-ray spectroscopic investigations of the electronic structure of TiOZ (rutile) by means of polarized TiKp valence band spectra /1/ the corresponding OK~L spectra were also measured. The OKac spectra were measured with the RAP spectrometer of an electron microprobe analyzer ARL EMX-SM on the same synthetic rutile single crystal as used in /1/ but with an emitting surface cut parallel to the tetragonal c-axis and covered by a thin vapour deposited carbon film. The spectra have been registered for two special positions of the emission sample relative to the X-ray spectrometer (see Fig. 5 of /2/).With the tetragonal c-axis of the Ti02 sample perpendicular and parallel to the reflection plane of the spectrometer crystal two spectra with the intensities 11( 0 ) and 12( 0 ) were obtained, respectively. Then from these spectra the intensities I,, ( W ) and II ( o) were calculated by means of formulas (7) and (8) in /2/. The latter intensities represent the spectra with the polarization vector 2! of radiation parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the c-axis of the emitting sample. In formulas (7) and (8) of /2/ a polarization ratio cos2 2 8 /1, 2/of the RAP spectrometer crystalwas used withan average Bragg angle 8 = = 64.5O at which the OK= valence band spectra a r e reflected. The resulting polarized OKor spectra of Ti02 (rutile) show different peak intensities and peak positions, the latter are separated by about 0 . 6 eV. In Fig. 1 these spectra and the polarized TiKp2. valence band spectra /1/ a r e combined on a binding energy scale by means of XPS core level energies of rutile measured in a Hewlett-Packard 5950 A spectrometer with monochromatized A l K a radiation.Most peaks and shoulders in the O K a spectra coincide with corresponding structures in the TiKp 2 . 5 spectrum with respect to the binding ecergy. This indicates the existence of bonding valence states with participation of 0 2p and T i 4p like orbitals which a r e in particular the cluster orbitals 2B3u, 2Blu, 1 ) Friedemann-Bach-Platz 6, DDR-4020 Halle (Saale), GDR.
