We present the measurements for the diffusion of bridging oxygen vacancy (OV) crossover Ti rows via OV pairs (OVPs). Using a high-resolution scanning tunneling microscope (STM), we show that the OVs can be moved along the bridging oxygen rows driven by the STM tip at voltages higher than 3.0 V on TiO2(110)-(1x1) surface. It is found that the combination of OVPs leads to the formation of OVPs, which can diffuse crossover Ti rows under the mediation of OVs in adjacent bridging oxygen rows. The deduced diffusion activation energy for the diffusive OVPs from experiments is in agreement with first-principles calculations. The reaction activation energy of the OVPs with O-2 is lower than that of the OVs by 82 meV. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
