Abstract

Using the method of site-specific valence x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SSVKPS), we have experimentally determined the Ti and O partial density of occupied valence states of rutile TiO2. Excellent agreement with ab initio local density approximation (LDA) calculations is found, provided the theory is corrected for the relative angular-momentum dependent photoelectron-matrix elements of the Ti 3d, 4s and 4p states, and the O 2s and 2p states. Significant hybridization between the different orbitals on each site is observed that is counter to the usual interpretation of valence-photoelectron spectra.
