Photophysical processes related to photoadsorption and photocatalysis on wide band gap solids: A review
During the last two decades, various pathways describing photoexcitation of small molecules’ surface reactions at the wide band gap metal oxides and halides (Eg>3 eV) have been recognized. Photogeneration of excitons and free charge carriers may occur in bands of: i) fundamental absorption; ii) e...
