We investigated the oxidation of oxygen vacancies at the surface of anatase TiO$$_{2}$$(001) using supersonic seeded molecular beam (SSMB) of oxygen. The oxygen vacancies at the top-surface and sub-surface could be eliminated by the supply of oxygen using an SSMB. These results indicate that the interstitial vacancies can be mostly assigned to oxygen vacancies, which can be effectively eliminated by using an oxygen SSMB. Oxygen vacancies are present on the surface of anatase TiO$$_{2}$$(001) when it is untreated before transfer to a vacuum chamber. These vacancies, which are stable in the as-grown condition, could also be effectively eliminated using the oxygen SSMB.

Stability and vulnerability of organic carbon stored in Japanese forest soils

Accelerated release of carbon (C) previously stored in soils is considered one of the most important positive feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to the atmosphere in a future warmer world. We used 14C analysis following chemical fractionation to quantify the sizes and turnover times of C pools of Japanese forest soils. The $$^{14}$$C-based approach revealed higher variations of the family of MRTs soil by soil. The size of C pools that cycle slowly on timescales of 100-1000 years strongly correlated with the content of pyrophosphate-extractable Al. In contrast, faster-cycling C pools that turn over within decades showed a negative correlation with mean annual temperature at the sites. Our results suggest that C dynamics in the isolated SOC pools may be regulated by different mechanisms: temperature control on decadal cycling C versus mineralogy control on slower-cycling C, and clearly demonstrate that the forest soils will respond very differently to climate change over the next century.

Soils are the largest carbon (C) reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems, and may act as both a source and sink of atmospheric CO$$_{2}$$ in response to climate change. Identifying the sizes and turnover times of soil organic carbon (SOC) pools is a crucial step to predicting the fate of soil C. Here, we used a $$^{14}$$C-based approach to quantitatively understand how much and how long Japanese forest soils store C in their surface horizons. We collected soil samples from deciduous forests, separated the samples into SOC fractions, and then determined their $$^{14}$$C ratios to estimate mean residence times (MRTs). The MRTs ranged from years to millennia, which revealed a different distribution of MRTs between the soils. We found that the total amount of C correlated positively with the size of the SOC pools cycling on time scales of $$>$$ 100 years, but poorly with the size of faster-cycling pools. The results suggest that the soils with higher C stocks do not necessarily have higher potential for CO$$_{2}$$ emission.

Soft X-ray photoemission spectroscopy of water-adsorbed titanium dioxide surfaces

TiO$$_{2}$$ has been extensively studied because of high photocatalytic activity. However, the basic reaction process of photocatalysis has not been understood yet. In this study, the difference in water adsorption reaction between rutile and anatase was clarified using synchrotron radiation soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The OH component observed at the higher binding energy side was clearly confirmed in the rutile type TiOTiO$$_{2}$$, suggesting that the rutile type is more reactive to water adsorption.
