Abstract
A (001) SrTiO3 wafer has been investigated in situ at room temperature under application of a static electric field of varying polarity by fluorescence x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis at the Sr-K and Ti-K absorption edges. The XANES spectra show a clear shift of the Ti-K absorption edge energy. The shift is attributed to a change of the Ti valence state in a volume invoked by diffusion of the oxygen ions and vacancies. No shift was observed for the Sr-K absorption edge energy. Theoretical calculations support these findings.Entities:
