Abstract

First-principles calculations on the structural, electronic, and optical properties of B-P codoped SiGe core-shell nanowires are discussed. We show that the simultaneous addition of B and P impurities into the wire can be energetically favored with respect to the single-doping. We demonstrate that impurities energetic levels in the band gap are dependent by the Si/Ge band offset, as well as by their location in the wire (i.e., core or shell region). This electronic tunability results in a significant optical modulation, as demonstrated by the red-shift of the first optical peak when B and P locations are switched in the wire.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
