Description of nanosystems with first principles methods of quantum mechanics is still a cumbersome process, hence simpler models are rather used in the process of modeling. In this communication we analyze atomistic approaches like the empirical tight-binding (ETB) method that can be used with many flavors of sophistication to calculate both electronic structure and transport properties of nanosystems of various sizes ranging from tens and hundreds to millions of atoms. In contrast, the ab-initio methods deal with smaller systems, yet they provide reliable information, like equilibrium geometry and charge distribution, which are not fully captured by ETB methods. Several examples of relevant nanosystems that uses either ETB or ab-initio methods are provided.","PeriodicalId":151985,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Semiconductor Conference (CAS)","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130419289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Raman studies and spectral photocurrent measurements were carried out. Ge NCs formation is evidenced in the Raman spectrum of GeTiO2 film annealed at 550 °C. The photocurrent spectra measured on the Ge NCs-TiO2 film present four peaks separated by deconvolution. The broad peaks at ~700, 890, 1010 nm are due to photo-effects in the Ge NCs-TiO2 film. More than that, the photocurrent increases exponentially with the increase of bias voltage. The cut-off wavelength is ~1240 nm.
