Mechanism for the bulk-assisted reoxidation of ion sputtered TiO2 surfaces: diffusion of oxygen to the surface or titanium to the bulk.

Abstract

Examines the reoxidation of Ar+ sputtered TiO2 surfaces by thermal annealing in vacuum to be the result primarily from the diffusion of titanium cations, presumably in reduced oxidation states from the damaged surface into the bulk and not from the diffusion of bulk oxygen anions to the surface.
