Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 35: Alloy Disorder in Nanowires
Update: 2010-08-05
Description
This presentation discusses the consequences of Alloy Disorder in unstrained strained AlGaAs nanowiresRelationship between dispersion relationship and transmission in perfectly ordered wiresBand folding in Si nanowiresTranmisison in disordered wires – relationship to an approximate bandstructreReminder of the origin of bandstructure and bandstructure engineeringLocalization of wavefunctionsLearning Objectives:Alloy wires are NOT smooth“Conduction band edge” flucatuates locallyDispersion changes Transmission and Density of states show localization effects
