The solution–liquid–solid (SLS) and related solution-based methods for the synthesis of
semiconductor nanowires and nanorods are reviewed. Since its discovery in 1995, the SLS …

I? rst heard of k· p in a course on semiconductor physics taught by my thesis adviser William
Paul at Harvard in the fall of 1956. He presented the k· p Hamiltonian as a semiempirical …

We present an explanation to the spurious solution problem affecting the k∙ p envelope
function method, indicating that the problem is mathematically caused by loss of ellipticity of …

Low-dimensional nanostructures have many advantages when used in sensors compared
to the traditional bulk materials, in particular in their sensitivity and specificity. In such …

Colloidal InAs quantum wires having diameters in the range of 5− 57 nm and narrow
diameter distributions are grown from Bi nanoparticles by the solution− liquid− solid (SLS) …

Indium phosphide (InP) nanowires (NWs) have attracted significant attention due to their
exotic properties that are different from the bulk counterparts, and have been widely used for …

We investigate the electronic band structure of modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell
nanowires for both n and p do**. We developed an 8-band Burt-Foreman k· p Hamiltonian …

Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of
well-known authors, editors, and contributors. Originally widely known as the" Willardson …

We have used first principles methods to systematically investigate the quantum
confinement effect on the electronic properties of zinc-blende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) InAs …

Electromechanical effects are important in semiconductor nanostructures as most of the
semiconductors are piezoelectric in nature. These nanostructures find applications in …
