Influence of Oxygen Vacancy Density on the Polaronic Configuration in Rutile

Polaronic configurations that were introduced by oxygen vacancy in rutile TiO<sub>2</sub> crystal have been studied by the DFT + <i>U</i> method. It is found that the building block of TiO<sub>6</sub> will expand when extra electron is trapped in the central Ti at...
