Literature Information
Dmitri B. Migas, Andrew B. Filonov, Victor E. Borisenko
In the first part [D. B. Migas et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2014, DOI: 10.1039/C3CP54988G] by means of ab initio calculations we have analyzed and discussed anisotropy effects on electronic properties of 〈001〉-, 〈100〉- and 〈110〉-oriented anatase TiO2 nanowires. In this part we present results indicating crucial changes in morphology of anatase TiO2 nanotubes originating from TiO2 nanowires by making a hole along the wire axis. The critical wall thickness has been found to exist for the nanotubes with 〈001〉 and 〈110〉 axes: at smaller thickness their shape can be rounded, squeezed, viewed as conglomerates of nanocrystals and even represented as cylindrical and ‘single-walled’-like structures formed without rolling up a thin titania layer into a nanotube. In general, band dispersion near the gap region of TiO2 nanotubes is close to the one of TiO2 nanowires with the same orientation. We have also revealed that optimization of the unit cell parameter along the wire axis and consideration of quantum confinement and surface state effects are important to provide an interpretation of band-gap variation with respect to wall thickness in TiO2 nanotubes.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
