摘要: In this work we show that tetragonal strain can be used to create a sign reversal of the piezoelectric field in InAs/GaAs semiconductor heterostructures. The dependence internal displacement cation-anion pairs and bond polarity are taken into account, beyond linear model, within an ab initio scheme. reported tunability is concept exploited optoelectronic devices.
