摘要
The structural properties, the stability and the electronic properties of various nanostructures based on the titania layer modifications (anatase and lepidocrocite) are studied using the density-functional-based tight-binding method (DFTB). The anatase nanotubes were found as the most stable nanostructure of TiO2. Based on the results of the calculations of the anatase nanostructures a model of their stability was developed. All anatase nanoforms are semiconductors with a direct band gap (similar to 4.2 eV). The lepidocrocite nanotubes are semiconductors with an indirect band gap (similar to 4.5 eV).
