摘要
This review is devoted to the modeling of Si and Ge nanocrystals by means of the tight-binding method. First we give the short outline of the modeling methods and their application for the discription of silicon and germanium nanocrystals. Then, the tight-binding method with extended s, p, d, and s* basis is explained in details and the results obtained with the use of this method are presented.
