In this paper, using the atomistic NEMO 3-D simulator, we study the origin and nature of various internal fields in InAs/GaAs quantum dots having three different geometries, namely, box, dome, and pyramid. We then calculate and delineate the impact of the internal fields on the one-particle electronic states in terms of shift in the conduction band energy states, anisotropy and twofold degeneracy in the P level, and formation of mixed excited bound states. A list of models and approaches used in this study is as follows: (1) Valence force field (VFF) with strain-dependent Keating potentials for atomistic strain relaxation; (2) 20-band nearest-neighbor sp3 d5 s∗ tight-binding model for the calculation of single-particle energy states; and (3) For piezoelectricity, for the first time within the framework of sp3 d5 s∗ tight-binding theory, four different recently-proposed polarization models (linear and non-linear) have been considered in this study. In contrast to recent studies of similar quantum dots, our calculations yield a non-vanishing net piezoelectric contribution to the built-in electrostatic field. We also demonstrate the importance of full three-dimensional (3-D) atomistic material representation and the need for using realistically-extended substrate and cap layers (systems containing millions of atoms) in the numerical modeling of these reduced-dimensional quantum dots.","PeriodicalId":423557,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132929378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that the transport properties are different with a different lattice type vacancy (A-type or B-type vacancy). The conductance of ZGNRs is more sensitive to an interior vacancy than an edge vacancy. More importantly, the pattern of interior vacancies has enormous influence on the electron transport around the Femi energy. As hexagon carbons are removed, the ZGNRs transform from metallic to semiconducting. Thus one can tune the electron properties of ZGNRs by patterning vacancies.","PeriodicalId":423557,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122667138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gaps in nanoscale is tuned by reducing the diameter of the top layer nanospheres using oxygen etching. Good uniformity is observed in the triangle structures. The feature size of the triangle structures can be tuned by controlling the etching time.

The X-ray diffraction patterns and SEM images revealed that the films have a nanocrystalline structure. The optical properties of ZnO films were not affected by the UV irradiation significantly. The gas sensing behavior of zinc oxide thin films were enhanced by UV irradiation for a shorter period whereas sensing characteristics were degraded for a longer irradiation period.
