The STM feature associated with a CO 2 molecule at an oxygen vacancy (VO) becomes increasingly streaky with increasing temperature, indicating thermally activated CO 2 diffusion from the VO site. From temperaturedependent tunneling current measurements, the barrier for diffusion of CO 2 from the VO site is estimated to be 3.31 ± 0.23 kcal/mol. The corresponding value from the DFT calculations is 3.80 kcal/mol. In addition, the DFT calculations give a barrier for diffusion of CO 2 along Ti rows of only 1.33 kcal/mol. © 2011 American Chemical Society. date: 2011-12-15 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text/plain language: en rights: attached identifier: http://d-scholarship-dev.library.pitt.edu/18576/1/licence.txt identifier: Lee, J and Sorescu, DC and Deng, X and Jordan, KD (2011) Diffusion of CO 2 on the rutile TiO 2(110) surface.
