The local environment around 3d3(Cr3+and Mn4+) ions doped into rutile TiO2crystals has been investigated using superposition model (SPM) analysis. The zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters (ZFSPs) D and E are modeled for the Cr3+and Mn4+ions at both the substitutional Ti sites with local symmetry orthorhombic D2hand the interstitial sites (ISs) with the same symmetry. Several model parameter sets are adopted so as to acquire the best agreement between the calculated ZFSPs and those measured by electron magnetic resonance (EMR). The feasible values of the structural distortions (ΔRY, ΔRXZand Δθ) resulting from dopant Cr3+and Mn4+ions are determined. As a result, it is confirmed that Mn4+ions substitute for Ti4+sites in rutile TiO2crystal; however, it is suggested that Cr3+ions may replace at not only Ti4+site but also IS.
