Electron energy-loss near-edge structures at the oxygen K edges of titanium(IV) oxygen compounds

Abstract

Electron energy-loss near-edge structures at the oxygen K edges of a number of titanium(IV)-oxygen compounds have been measured with an energy resolution of 0.5 eV. A detailed interpretation of the observed structures in terms of the differing nearest-neighbour coordinations of oxygen is obtained by comparing the experimental spectra with the results of multiple-scattering calculations and some theoretical densities of states derived from the literature.
