In an effort to gain insight into how optical properties of insulating materials are affected by a change in chemical composition, we investigated the dielectric functions of titanium dioxide, TiO2, and its fluorine-substituted phases, TiOF2 and TiF4, by electron energy loss spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory electronic band structure calculations. The refractive indices of these compounds are found to be inversely proportional to their cell volumes per formula unit. This observation was explained by employing the concept of optical channels. Our study indicates that the light-scattering properties of insulating compounds can be controlled by modifying their cell volumes.
