Abstract:
Au atoms have been deposited on oxidized and reduced TiO2 thin films grown on Mo(110). The Au binding sites and the occurrence of Au-TiO2 charge transfer were identified by measuring IR spectra as a function of temp. and substrate prepn. The results were interpreted by slab model DFT calcns. Au binds weakly to regular TiO2 sites (De < 0.5 eV) where it remains neutral, and diffuses easily even at low temp. until it gets trapped at strong binding sites such as O vacancies (
