Predicion of charge separation in GaAs/AlAs cylindrical Russian Doll nanostructures
Jeongnim Kim, Lin-Wang Wang, Alex Zunger
Abstract
We have contrasted the quantum confinement of (i) multiple quantum wells of flat GaAs and AlAs layers, i.e. ()m/()n/()p/()q, with (ii) ``cylindrical Russian Dolls'' -- an equivalent sequence of wells and barriers arranged as concentric wires. Using a pseudopotential plane-wave calculation, we identified theoretically a set of numbers (m,n,p and q) such that charge separation can exist in ``cylindrical Russian Dolls'': the CBM is localized in the inner GaAs layer, while the VBM is localized in the outer GaAs layer.
