ELECTRON TUNNELING TO TiO2 SURFACE STATES
Abstract
Simulation of tunneling of electrons excited by the sunlight to TiO2 surface states is performed. The surface states appear due to absorption of impurities and organic compounds on the TiO2 nanocomposite in the gas environment. Interference of transmitted and reflected waves, overbarrier and reflected waves under the conditions of the complex potential relief is taken into account.
