Interface and confined polar optical phonons in spherical ZnO quantum dots with wurtzite crystal structure
We derive analytically the interface and confined polar optical-phonon modes for spherical quantum dots with wurtzite crystal structure. While the frequency of confined optical phonons in zincblende nanocrystals is equal to that of the bulk crystal phonons, the confined polar optical phonons in wurtzite nanocrystals are shown to have a discrete spectrum of frequencies different from those in bu...
متن کاملSpin-orbit coupling and anisotropy of spin splitting in quantum dots.
In lateral quantum dots, the combined effect of both Dresselhaus and Bychkov-Rashba spin-orbit coupling is equivalent to an effective magnetic field +/- B(SO) which has the opposite sign for s(z)= +/- 1/2 spin electrons. When the external magnetic field is perpendicular to the planar structure, the field B(SO) generates an additional splitting for electron states as compared to the spin splitti...
متن کاملElectronic and Optical Properties of the Graphene and Boron Nitride Nanoribbons in Presence of the Electric Field
Abstract: In this study, using density functional theory and the SIESTA computationalcode, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of the armchair graphenenanoribbons and the armchair boron nitride nanoribbons of width 25 in the presence of atransverse external electric field. We have observed that in the absence of the electricfield, these structures are se...
متن کاملOptical properties of wurtzite and zinc-blende GaNÕAlN quantum dots
We investigate theoretically and compare optical properties of wurtzite and zinc-blende GaN/AlN quantum dots with heights from 1.5 to 4.5 nm. The quantum dot size corresponds to the strong quantum confinement regime. It has been established that the built-in piezoelectric field at the GaN/AlN interface governs optical properties of wurtzite quantum dots while having a small effect on zinc-blend...
متن کاملinvestigation of the electronic properties of carbon and iii-v nanotubes
boron nitride semiconducting zigzag swcnt, $b_{cb}$$n_{cn}$$c_{1-cb-cn}$, as a potential candidate for making nanoelectronic devices was examined. in contrast to the previous dft calculations, wherein just one boron and nitrogen doping configuration have been considered, here for the average over all possible configurations, density of states (dos) was calculated in terms of boron and nitrogen ...
