Tuning the hole mobility in InP semiconductor nanowires Temperature, strain, and width effects • MariamaRebello Sousa Dias • Victor Lopez-Richard • Sergio E. Ulloa AdalbertoPicinin LeonardoK. Castelano José Pedro Rino Gilmar E. Marques
Summary • Temperature effects: Molecular dynamics simulations • Confinement and Strain effects: Valence band ground states • Width effects • Hole Mobility: width, strain, and temperature • Conclusions
Temperature effects: MD simulations W 2 body interaction Potentials 3 body interaction
Temperature effects: MD simulations W • Coulomb; • Steric repulsion; • Charge-induced dipole; • Van der Waals attraction. 2 body interaction Potentials Covalent character of the bonds (groups connected by In-P cohesive bond) 3 body interaction
Temperature effects: MD simulations Phonon density of states: Shift to lower frequencies 2. Increase in the peak size
Conclusions • MD simulation: LO phonon peak position and lifetime are different for different temperatures. • Electronic structures changes with strain and/or size. • Hole mobility changes in a non-monotonic fashion. • Tuning parameters we can characterize a resonant behavior in the mobility.
