Abstract: | In order to assess the localization in k-space of the secondary valence band extrema, we have measured the stress dependence of the indirect transition of TiO2, at 1.6 K, for static uniaxial compression along the 100] and 110] directions. From the stress-induced splittings we localize the secondary valence-band extrema in 100] direction (Δ direction) and associate the indirect gap of TiO2 with a Δ4v → Γ1c phonon-assisted transition. The shear deformation potential of the Δ4v valence band has been determined from the stress-induced splitting of the TA phonon-assited transition. We find |CΔ4v| = 0.75 eV. |
