摘要
We report on a theoretical study of the valence band structures of germanium-silicon core-shell nanowires based on a 6x6 k center dot p model. We take into account the inhomogeneous strain effects induced by the lattice mismatches between germanium and silicon. We find that the top subband ends drift back to F point, and the effective masses of more subbands begin to decrease when the shell thickness increases.
