Abstract
The reduction of 
(anatase) subjected to high flux electron
irradiation (
) to titanium monoxide
is followed using
the evolution of fine structure in the electron energy loss
spectrum. Changes in extended fine structure are consistent with
changes in interatomic distance and the shift in d band onset
clearly shows the transition from insulator to metal.
