Quantum-size effects in the titanosilicate molecular sieve

The recently synthesized Engelhard titanosilicate (ETS-10) represents a material which contains in the structure well defined atomic ⋯O–Ti–O–Ti–O⋯ quantum wires embedded in a highly insulating siliceous matrix. We report and discuss the UV-Vis spectrum of this material and compare the experimentally...

Zusammenfassung:The recently synthesized Engelhard titanosilicate (ETS-10) represents a material which contains in the structure well defined atomic ⋯O–Ti–O–Ti–O⋯ quantum wires embedded in a highly insulating siliceous matrix. We report and discuss the UV-Vis spectrum of this material and compare the experimentally determined optical band gap with the results predicted by simple modeling of a titanium oxide semiconductor wire unidimensionally confined by an infinite potential barrier.
