Electronic Structure and Magnetic Properties of Iron Doped TiO2 (Rutile): XPS Measurements and CPA Calculations

Article Preview

Abstract:

X-ray photoelectron spectra of TiO2:Fe are measured. Electronic structure and magnetic properties of rutile doped by iron are calculated in frames of the coherent potential approximation. The main experimental spectral features of TiO2:Fe such as heterovalent cation substitution (Fe3+→Ti4+), decreasing of the band gap value and appearance of additional features at the bottom and top of X-ray photoelectron spectra of valence band in comparison with those for undoped TiO2 are described.
