Abstract
The influence of Ti and Zr impurity atoms on the atomic and electronic structures of a mesoporous SiO2 matrix is ab initio simulated in a generalized gradient approximation. Energetically favorable positions of titanium and zirconium in the structure are revealed. The incorporation of Zr and Ti ions is shown to decrease the bandgap.
