First-principles Calculations on the Electronic, Vibrational, and Optical Properties of Semiconductor Nanowires
The first part of my PhD work is about the lattice vibrations in silicon nanowires. First-principles calculations based on the linear response are performed to investigate the quantum confinement effect in lattice vibrations of silicon nanowires (SiNW). The radial breathing modes (RBM) are found in...
