The equilibration kinetics of single‐crystal TiO 2 were determined in the rapid kinetics regime (within the first 10 h) within narrow ranges of oxygen activities, p (O 2 ), under the conditions of 1198–1323 K and p (O 2 ) = 10 –10 –10 5 Pa. The determined chemical diffusion coefficient, D chem , is observed to exhibit a complex dependence on p (O 2 ). Comparison of D chem for single‐crystal and polycrystalline TiO 2 demonstrates that the grain boundaries have a retarding effect on the transport of defects. The present work represents the first assessment of the effect of nonstoichiometry on well defined D chem for TiO 2 within a wide range of p (O 2 ). (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
