11. A recent report by L. A. Harris and R. H. Wilson, J. Electrochem. Soc., 123, 1010 (1976), notes aging effects of TiO2 in 1 N acid. However, these effects are for band-gap light and for illumination times much greater than those used is these experiments.

14. R. Memming and F. Mollers, Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem., 76, 475 (1972), show that the tunneling distance x(E) depends on the square root of the dielectric constant, ε The tunneling probability, T(E), is then proportional to exp(—Kx(E)) where K involves other terms. As εTio2 >10εsnO2, 7(E) will be significantly lower for TiO2 than for SnO2.
