Quantum confined states in cylindrical nanowire heterostructures

We present an investigation of quantum confinement effects in nanowire heterostructures through the use of an effective-mass model with a band-offset induced potential barrier. The characteristic size of microelectronics is rapidly approaching the nanometer scale and because of this, nanostructure b...
