The elastic and piezoelectric properties of zincblende and wurtzite crystalline InAs/InP
nanowire heterostructures have been studied using electro‐elastically coupled continuum …

The electronic properties of thin, nanometer scale GaAs quantum well tubes embedded
inside the AlGaAs shell of a GaAs core–multishell nanowire are investigated using optical …

We report on a theoretical discovery of a generic piezoelectric field in strained core− shell
compound semiconductor nanowires. We show, using both an analytical model and …

In this article we present for the first time an analytical solution to the boundary-value
problem in the classical theory of elasticity for a core-shell cylinder with an eccentric …

Highly strained GaAs/GaP nanowires of excellent optical quality were grown with 50 nm
diameter GaAs cores and 25 nm GaP shells. Photoluminescence from these nanowires is …

Inefficient mechanical energy capture and inadequate active sites of piezoelectric materials
remain the principal impediment for more widespread application in environmental …

We compute strain distributions in core-shell nanowires of zinc blende structure. We use
both continuum elasticity theory and an atomistic model, and consider both finite and infinite …

Systematic studies of optical excitation spectra of semiconductor nanowires (including group
IV, III–V, and II–VI materials) obtained by using an eight-band effective bond-orbital model …

The energy band gap of graphene, h-boron nitride, stanene, silicene, germanene, and
phosphorene nanoribbons is investigated theoretically with two approaches. In the first …

Magnetotransport experiments on epitaxial GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires are performed
in which the InAs shell forms a tube-like conductive channel around the highly resistive …
