Piezoelectricity in ZnO nanowires: A first-principles study

Abstract

Hexagonal [0001] nonpassivated ZnO nanowires with diameters up to 2.8nm are studied with density functional calculations. The authors find that ZnO nanowires have larger effective piezoelectric constant than bulk ZnO due to their free boundary. For ZnO nanowires with diameters larger than 2.8nm, the effective piezoelectric constant is almost a constant. Surprisingly, the effective piezoelectric constant in small ZnO nanowires does not depend monotonically on the radius due to two competitive effects. Moreover, the quantum confinement effect results in larger band gaps of bare ZnO nanowires compared to that of bulk ZnO.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
