Figure 8
Lowest conduction band electron and highest valence band hole confinement energies in the [111]-oriented GaP nanowires with a hexagonal cross section as a function of the lateral size d.
The calculated data are presented by symbols “∗” and the solid lines are the results of fittings based on Eq. (1) with the fitting parameters listed in Table 1. The insets show the zoom-in plots of the calculated confinement energies in the nanowires at large sizes.
