ELECTRON TUNNELING TO THE SURFACE STATES AT PHOTOCATALYSIS

T.N. Sidorova, Alexander L. Danilyuk

Abstract

Simulation of tunneling electrons excited by the sunlight in TiO2 to surface states is performed for TiO2/Si nanostructure. The tunneling transmission coefficient of the surface states created by organic compounds was calculated by phase function method. Dependence of the transmission coefficient of tunneling electrons on potential barrier parameters is explained by interference of transmitted and reflected waves.

Keywords: phase function method, TiO2/Si nanostructure, transmission, tunneling electron
