Abstract
We have shown, using the Auger‐spectroscopy technique, that irradiation of the crystalline (anatase) TiO2 by electrons leads to a considerable oxygen depletion and metallization of the irradiated surface. The threshold energy for this process has been found to be around 530 eV, which coincides with the ionization threshold of the K shell of oxygen.Keywords
