Room temperature measurements on TiO2

We propose to investigate the role of orbital hybridization in the magnetism of TiO2 and single-atom doped (e.g. Fe, Co, and Ni) TiO2 using element selective HERFD XAS, XES, and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). The motivation of this work is to study the electronic structure of the single-atom doped TiO2. These measurements can uniquely determine whether the observed magnetization is due to a magnetic moment from one of the constituent elements, or their orbital hybridization.
