Abstract
We have shown, using the Auger-spectroscopy technique, that irradiatio n of the crystalline (anatase) TiO2 by electrons leads to a considerab le oxygen depletion and metallization of the irradiated surface. The t hreshold energy for this process has been found to be around 530 eV, w hich coincides with the ionization threshold of the K shell of oxygen. (C) 1994 American Institute of Physics.
