Electron phonon interaction via deformation potential; Interaction potential Wave function of an infinite nanowire:
Deformation Potential where and are proportional to For the conduction band For the valence band In thedirection [001] • couples with
So, Transition Rate Calculation Replacethe Dirac delta by a Lorentzian,
Lifetime Calculation C Mobility
Strain Subband HH Displacment Subband HL where Spin-orbit split-off energy Deformation Potential Elastic moduli
Molecular Dynamics simulation • Will provide values of strain field distribution in the wires
