Abstract

Cr-N codoping approach is studied using both cluster-assembled and epitaxial TiO2 films. simultaneously injecting the two atomic species substantially modifies the TiO2 band gap, reducing it by more than 1 eV. XPS, XAS and optical spectroscopy characterizations confirm that the atoms are succesfully embedded inside the system and that the band gap is reduced. Cr-N coupling is confirmed in the case of epitaxial codoped Titania films.
