Modeling of Elastic Energy Relaxation in Coaxial InAs-GaAs Nanowire Heterostructures

AN Karpov and NL Shwartz, 2015 16TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF YOUNG SPECIALISTS ON MICRO/NANOTECHNOLOGIES AND ELECTRON DEVICES, 93-96 (2015).

Modeling results of elastic strain distribution in InAs/GaAs core-shell nanowires are presented. Calculations were carried out using molecular static technique. The critical core radius and critical shell thickness of coherent radial heterostructures were estimated. Critical core radius was demonstrated to be 1 nm.
