Electronic structure of Nb impurities in and on TiO2
Literature Information
The electronic properties of Nb substitutional impurities in the bulk phase and at the (110) surface of TiO2 are studied by means of density functional cluster calculations. Both the neutral (Nb4+) and the singly ionized (Nb5+) impurity charge states are taken into consideration. Nb is found to introduce a shallow donor level in bulk TiO2. According to X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the Nb charge is partially transferred to the nearest neighbors along the c axis. Close analogies are found between the electronic structure modifications occurring in the bulk and on the surface. An impurity related state is predicted to occur in the gap of Nb-doped TiO2(110) surfaces, in contrast with photoemission experiments. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. Finally, structural changes undergone by the (110) surface upon doping are found to be small (negligible for cationic sites where Ti atoms are not substituted), and insensitive to the impurity charge state.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
