“…i , can be experimentally confirmed by means of electron spin resonance (ESR) [38][39][40][41][42], infrared radiation (IR) [40,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48], ultraviolet-visible absorption (UV-vis) [14,42,[49][50][51], photoluminescence (PL) [52], photoacoustic [53][54][55][56], and photoelectron spectroscopies [17,18,30]. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are powerful tools for the direct observation of surface Ti ds [17,18,30,[57][58][59].…”
