The link between the energy surface of bulk systems and their dynamical properties is generally difficult to establish. Using activation-relaxation technique, we follow change in barrier distribution a model amorphous silicon as function degree global relaxation. We find that while barrier-height distribution, calculated from initial minimum, unique depends only on level relaxation, reverse-barrier height final state, independent following different function. Moreover, resulting gained or...

Coaxial core-sheath semiconductor nanowires exhibit an improved light absorption efficiency, rendering them promising building blocks in photovoltaic devices. In the present theoretical work, we focus on optical properties of Si/Ge and Ge/Si nanowires, compared to Si1−xGex alloy variants (without coated shell) same composition Si Ge. Using analytical Lorenz-Mie theory, compute both scattering efficiencies, with a particular attention devoted shell thickness influence. The leaky modes...

High refractive index dielectric nanostructures provide original optical properties thanks to the occurrence of size- and shape-dependent resonance modes. These modes commonly present a spectral overlap broad, low-order (\textit{e.g}. dipolar modes) much narrower, higher-order The latter are usually characterized by rapidly varying frequency-dependent phase, which - in superposition with lower order mode approximately constant phase leads typical features known as Fano resonances....
