Nanowires parameters determining electronic

In a nanowire system, the quantized subband energy enm and the transport effective mass mzz along the wire axis are the two most important parameters and determine almost all the electronic properties. Due to the anisotropic carriers and the special geometric configuration (circular wire cross section and high aspect ratio of length to diameter), several approximations were used in earlier calculations to derive e m and mzz in bismuth nanowires. In the... 

Nanowire profile also affects the excitation behavior of LSPs, i.e., it is one of the critical parameters that determine how electrons redistribute themselves in order to meet momentum matching condition. Effects of many profiles, such as rectangular, triangular, T and inverse T profiles, have been investigated [22, 23].
