In this work, SIMS is used in the investigation of surface segregation in niobium doped polycrystalline TiO2. This material has demonstrated important photo-catalytic properties with implications for alternative energy generation and environmentally-friendly water purification, but requires investigation in relation to surface versus bulk processing. This paper demonstrates the use of SIMS in the quantitatively assessment of segregation in TiO2 and the development of a calibration curve.
