We used density-functional theory based first-principles simulations to study the effects of
uniaxial strain and quantum confinement on the electronic properties of germanium …

Strain modulated electronic properties of Si/Ge core–shell nanowires along the [110]
direction were reported, on the basis of first principles density-functional theory calculations …

While the orientation-dependent properties of semiconductor nanowires have been
theoretically predicted, their study has long been overlooked in many fields owing to the …

Germanium/Germanium-Silicon core/shell nanowires are expected to play an important role
in future electronic devices. We use first-principles plane-wave calculations within density …

Semiconductor nanowires, based on silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge) are leading candidates
