Topic: Approximate modeling of TiO2 nanotubes Abstract: This master thesis is based on creating computer models of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes and testing approximate methods which describe their electronic structure well. Recent applications of TiO2 nanotubes in hierarchical nanostructures for photocatalytic processes were considered as an inspiration for this thesis. The aim of the theoretical…
