Abstract:We have investigated creation of variable concentrations of defects on TiO2(110)-(1 x 1) surface by 266 nm laser using temperature programmed desorption technique. Oxygen-vacancy defects can be easily induced by ultraviolet light, the defects concentration has a linear dependence on power density higher than 50 mW/cm(2) for 90 s irradiation. No observation of O-2 molecule and Ti atom desorption suggests that UV induced defects creation on TiO2(110)-(1 x 1) is an effective and gentle method. With pre-dosage of thin films of water, the rate of defects creation on TiO2(110)-(1 x 1) is slower at least by two orders of magnitude than bare TiO2(110)-(1 x 1) surface. Further investigations show that water can be more easily desorbed by UV light, and thus desorption of bridging oxygen is depressed.
