Popis: In the empirical tight-binding approach we study the electronic states in spherical SiGe nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 matrix. The energy and valley structure is obtained as a function of Ge composition and nanocrystal size. The calculations show that the mixing of hot electrons in the nanocrystal with electrons in wide band gap matrix is possible and this mixing strongly depends on the Ge composition in the nanocrystal.
