Abstract
The relationship between the short- and long-range orders in various phases of nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide (TiO y ) has been analyzed for the first time. The types of the local environment of lattice sites in the metal and nonmetal (oxygen) sublattices of Ti5O5, Ti3O2, Ti2O3, and Ti4O5 superstructures are described. It is established that, in phases where ordering takes place simultaneously in both sublattices, all parameters of the superstructural short-range order determining the positions of atoms and vacancies in the first three coordination spheres can be uniquely expressed via the long-range order parameters. If the ordering takes place only in one sublattice, then five of the six short-range order parameters vanish. It is shown that, using data on the maximum absolute values of six short-range order parameters and on the fractions of occupied atomic positions in titanium and oxygen sublattices, it is possible to predict the type of ordered phase expected to form in the nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide TiO y .
