The insulator-to-metal transformation in the surface layer of TiO2 (110) induced by the Ar+ ion sputtering process is analyzed on the nanoscale. Local conductivity atomic force microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy allow the changes in the valence of the Ti ions in the surface layer to be linked to the formation of its grain-like structure. The investigation of the cleavage plane of the crystal allowed us to estimate the thickness of the quasi-two-dimensional conducting layer generated by ion bombardment as 30 nm. The conducting layer is a template where the resistive switching of each single grain can be carried out.
