摘要
A series of dopants, including acceptor ions (Zn2+, Y3+), isovalent ions (Zr4+, Sn4+) as well as a donor ion, (Nb5+), were studied by EXAFS spectroscopy in nanocrystalline TiO2 anatase powders and nanoceramics. Similar results were found for nanocrystalline powders and nanocrystalline ceramics, made by hot-pressing the powders. Boundary segregation was observed for the acceptor ions yttrium and zinc, whereas tin, zirconium and niobium ions were placed on substitutional bulk sites and did not segregate, whatever their concentration. These results can be interpreted based on defect thermodynamics, in the framework of a space charge segregation model with positive boundary core, due to excess oxide ion vacancies, and negative space charge regions, where ionized acceptors are segregated.
