The unique potential of Anisotropic Anomalous Scattering (AAS) for investigation of randomly distributed point defects has been discussed theoretically by Dmitrienko and Ovchinnikova [1]. Here, we use this approach to study influences of oxygen vacancies in rutile TiO₂ on the resonant scattering contributions at the Ti-K absorption edge. First energy dependent AAS experiments have been performed on a series of single crystal wafers with different oxygen concentrations obtained by annealing at a temperature of 800 ^∘C in a vacuum of about 10⁻⁶ mbar for different durations. Measurements were carried out at DESY/HASYLAB on ’forbidden’ 001 and allowed 111 reflections. An interpretation based on vacancy-induced static Ti displacements from high- to low-symmetry positions will be presented.
