Zy. Wu et al., EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL-STUDIES OF THE ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE OF TIS2, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 54(16), 1996, pp. 11009-11013
Sulfur K- and titanium L(2,3)-edge absorption spectra of transition-me
tal disulfide, TiS2, were measured using x-ray-absorption spectroscopy
(XAS) and electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), respectively. All
features in the experimental spectra are very well reproduced by full
multiple-scattering-theory calculations. Combined analysis of theoret
ical and experimental XAS and EELS spectra, and linear muffin-tin orbi
tal band-structure calculations, tend to demonstrate that TIS2 is a se
mimetal.
