Tailoring of Acoustic and Optical Phonon Modes in Mesoscopic and Nanoscale Semiconductor Structures
Abstract
We have considered scattering rates and confined phonon modes in nitride-based confined nitride-based III-V heterostructures as well as the phonon modes in carbon nanotubes and buckyballs. We have examined phonons in a variety of nanostructures and related applications in optoelectronics, thin films, thermal systems, nanotubes, and buckyballs. An especially significant finding of this research is the finding that quantized elastic continuum modes describe the acoustic phonon modes in nanostructures with a high degree of accuracy.
