Effects of Strain on the Electronic and Vibrational Properties of Semiconductors and Semiconductor Microstructures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
This paper will review the effects of strain on the electronic and vibrational properties of semiconductors and semiconductor microstructures. Topics to be discussed include deformation potential theory for electronic states () and vibrational modes () of bulk material, polarization effects, the influence of strain (internal and external) on quantum states (band alignments, light-and heavy-hole splittings, polarization effects), piezoelectric effect, strain relaxation, etc. Also various measurement techniques will be mentioned. Selected examples of various phenomenon will be given, including some new and novel device applications.
