The elastic interaction of quantum disks (QDs) in a nanowire (NW), i.e., in a hybrid QD/NW structure with sharp heterointerfaces, is considered for the first time. Within the framework of the defect micromechanics approach, the energy of QD pair interaction is established and it is demonstrated that for QDs with a lattice mismatch of the same sign, an attraction zone appears to each other, depending on the ratio of the axial size of the QD to the radius of the NW. The discovered effect should be taken into account when choosing the modes of formation of hybrid QD/NW structures and in models explaining their properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
