Abstract

We present and discuss photoemission (PES) and O 1s x-ray-absorption spectra (XAS) of Ti 4 O 7 taken at different temperatures in the range 50–300 K. The PES taken at 300 K show Ti 3d bands at the Fermi level and O 2p bands at higher binding energies. The Ti 3d bands shift approximately 0.25 eV towards higher binding energies in the low-temperature semiconducting phase (50 K). The O 1s XAS are related, via the corresponding metal-oxygen hybridization, to the unoccupied electronic states in the conduction band. The XAS taken at 300 K reflect Ti 3d bands at threshold and Ti 4sp bands at higher photon energies. The Ti 3d bands are split by crystal-field effects into t 2g and e g subbands and shift approximately 0.45 eV towards higher photon energies in the low-temperature semiconducting phase (80 K). The XAS are basically temperature independent in both the low-temperature semiconducting phase and in the high-temperature metallic phase. The main changes in the O 1s XAS appear rather suddenly at the semiconductor-metal transition around 150 K.
