TiO2. Structural and electronic properties of TiO2 polymorphs denser than rutile, i.e. £\-PbO2-, baddeleyite, fluorite, and cotunnite-type were calculated by a first-principle pseudo-potential method based on density functional theory with local density approximation. Using experimental and theoretical lattice parameters of ambient TiO2, i.e. anatase and rutile as standard, the fluorite-type TiO2 has the narrowest band gap among the post-rutile phases. This character is important for the potential applications as visible-light-responsive photocatalyst.
In additional to the bulk properties of dense TiO2 polymorphs the surface energies of
