Abstract

The equilibration kinetics of single-crystal TiO2 were determined in the rapid kinetics regime (within the first 10 h) within narrow ranges of oxygen activities, p(O2), under the conditions of 1198-1323 K and p(O2) = 10-10 -105 Pa. The to exhibit a complex dependence on p(O2). Comparison of Dchem for single-crystal and polycrystalline TiO2 demonstrates that the grain boundaries have a retarding effect on the transport of defects. The present work represents the first assessment of the effect of nonstoichiometry on well defined Dchem for TiO2 within a wide range of p(O 2).
