Oxidation processes of Ti(0001)-1$$times$$1 clean surface were analyzed by real-time monitoring using a variety of surface analysis methods of XPS, UPS, and AES/RHEED. Following conclusions were obtained by these observations. Oxide layer grows epitaxially at the Ti(0001) surface with a $$sqrt{3}$$$$times$$$$sqrt{3}$$ structure. Surface roughness changes periodically. The period is consistent with that of work function. Low oxidation state (TiO) plays a dominant role in the dissociative adsorption of oxygen molecules. The oxide layer decomposes easily at surface temperature over 673 K. The TiO$$_{2}$$ structure reduces to TiO during thermal decomposition.
