title: Probing the local environment of Ti3+ ions in TiO2 (rutile) by 17O HYSCORE.
abstract: Reduced states in TiO(2) : (17)O hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy was used to monitor the local environment of stable Ti(3+) ions generated in a (17)O-enriched polycrystalline TiO(2) (rutile) sample. A hyperfine interaction of about 8 MHz is found, which is analogous to that observed for molecular Ti(3+) aqua complex cations and suggests a localized nature of the unpaired electron wave function for these centers at 4 K.
