Short-range ordering of vacancies and Fermi surface of TiO

Abstract: The structure of the disordered (high-temperature) phase of titanium monoxide has been studied by electron diffraction. Composition-dependent complex distributions of diffuse scattering are observed and interpreted in terms of short-range-ordered configurations of lattice vacancies. The proposition that the form of the diffuse scattering may correspond to ordering under the influence of long-range electronic energy terms and so show a direct relationship to the topology of the Fermi surface is examined.

Castles, Cowley & Spargo (1971) first examined the diffuse intensity with electron diffraction from quenched specimens of the disordered phase; they showed that there was a strong correlation between some of this scattering and the Fermi surface, which was corroborated by .

“…Short-range ordering of oxygen-vacancies, as chains of vacancies, have been attributed as responsible for diffuse streaks in many systems; these include oxygen-deficient stoichiometries of the superconductors YBa 2 Cu 2 O 7−δ , 41,42 and Nd 2−x Ce x CuO 4−y ; 43 and the perovskite CaFe x Ti 1−x O 3−x/2 . 39,40 Although there are different types of geometries possible for the ordering of oxygen-vacancies, and their existence has been shown by streaks in electron diffraction patterns, 44,45 in this report we concentrate on a simple chain geometry. Also, we emphasize that we did not model the lattice relaxation of the atoms near the vacancy; the simple approximation is physically based on the model that the lone pair of Bi 3+ fills the vacancy.…”
