Title Free-standing Si and Ge, and Ge/Si core-shell semiconductor nanowires Type A1 Journal article
Year (down) 2012 Publication Acta physica Polonica: A: general physics, solid state physics, applied physics T2 – WELCOME Scientific Meeting on Hybrid Nanostructures, AUG 28-31, 2011, Torun, POLAND Abbreviated Journal Acta Phys Pol A
Volume 122 Issue 2 Pages 294-298
Keywords A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
Abstract The properties of free-standing silicon and germanium nanowires oriented along the [110] direction are studied using different first principles methods. We show the corrections due to quasi-particles to the band structures obtained using the local-density approximation. The formation energies of B and P doped nanowires are calculated, both in the absence and presence of dangling bond defects and we link these to experimental results. Furthermore, we report on the phonon properties of pure Si and Ge nanowires, as well as Ge/Si core-shell nanowires, and discuss the differences between them.

Title Electronic and dynamical properties of Si/Ge core-shell nanowires Type A1 Journal article
Year (down) 2010 Publication Physical review : B : condensed matter and materials physics Abbreviated Journal Phys Rev B
Volume 82 Issue 11 Pages 113411-113411,4
Keywords A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
Abstract Full ab initio techniques are applied to study the electronic and dynamical properties of free standing, hydrogen-passivated Si/Ge core-shell nanowires oriented along the [110] direction. All studied wires exhibit a direct band gap and are found to be structurally stable. The different contributions of the core and shell atoms to the phonon spectra are identified. The acoustic phonon velocities and the frequencies of some typical optical modes are compared with those of pure Si and Ge nanowires. These depend either on the concentration or on the type of core material. Optical modes are hardened and longitudinal acoustic velocities are softened with decreasing wire diameter.

Title Phonon band structures of Si nanowires Type A1 Journal article
Year (down) 2009 Publication AIP conference proceedings Abbreviated Journal
Volume 1199 Issue Pages 323-324
Keywords A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
Abstract We present full ab initio calculations of the phonon band structure of thin Si nanowires oriented along the [110] direction. Using these phonon dispersion relations we investigate the structural stability of these wires. We found that all studied wires were stable also when doped with either B or P, if the unit cell was taken sufficiently large along the wire axis. The evolution of the phonon dispersion relations and of the sound velocities with respect to the wire diameters is discussed. Softening is observed for acoustic modes and hardening for optical phonon modes with increasing wire diameters.

Title Phonons in Ge nanowires Type A1 Journal article
Year (down) 2009 Publication Applied physics letters Abbreviated Journal Appl Phys Lett
Volume 95 Issue 12 Pages 122110,1-122110,3
Keywords A1 Journal article; Condensed Matter Theory (CMT)
Abstract The phonon spectra of thin freestanding, hydrogen passivated, Ge nanowires are calculated by ab initio techniques. The effect of confinement on the phonon modes as caused by the small diameters of the wires is investigated. Confinement causes a hardening of the optical modes and a softening of the longitudinal acoustic modes. The stability of the nanowires, undoped or doped with B or P atoms, is investigated using the obtained phonon spectra. All considered wires were stable, except for highly doped, very thin nanowires.
