Abstract:
An effective mass approximation is adopted to characterize the sub-band energy structure of type-II semiconductor cylindrical core/shell nanowires (CSNW) with cubic symmetry. The heteroepitaxial strain of the core-shell heterostructure is modeled by the elastic continuum approach within an isotropic treatment. The general equilibrium equation, Hooke's law and interface boundary matching condition are used in the strain modeling. The analytical results are applied to ZnTe/ZnSe, a wide band gap type-II heterostructure. Localization of the photoexcited electron-hole carriers and oscillator strength are investigated as function of the shell thickness.
