The variety of nanowire crystal structures gave rise to unique and novel transport phenomena. In particular, we have explored the superlattice profile generated by strain field modulation in twinplane nanowires for the tuning of transport…

We consider a finite, disordered 1D quantum lattice with a side-attached impurity. We study theoretically the transport of a single electron from the impurity into the lattice, at zero temperature. The transport is dominated by Anderson…
