摘要: We report electronic transport properties of doped Ge-core/Si-shell and Si-core/Ge-shell nanowires (NWs) from first-principles. obtain single-impurity scattering electrons holes using density-functional methods for quantum conductance then estimate charge-carrier mobilities considering multiple impurity scatterings. It is found that in the NW with B-doped Si P-doped Ge have higher than other chemical doping configurations. These results reflect asymmetric radial confinements charge carriers core-shell NWs show electron donors shell are as promising nanoelectronic devices acceptors shell.
