First Principle Study on Wurzite Core-shell Nanowires Heterostructures ZnO/ZnS.
ORAL
Abstract
We present a first-principle study on the structural and electronic structure of II-VI wurtzite core-shell core-multishell ZnO/ZnS hexagonal unsaturated and saturated nanowire and examine the dependence of interface stress and formation energy on nanowire lateral size with diameter range from 20{\AA} up to 36.4{\AA}. We also calculated Young's modulus along growth direction and tensile test have been applied for various wires to show the diameter dependence's of their mechanical properties. The electronics properties of heterostructure nanowire (e.g. band structure, Density of State, charge transfer via Mulliken population analysis) also exhibit wire's diameter dependence behaviors..
