Tuning the electrical resistivity of semiconductor thin films by nanoscale corrugation

Abstract: The low-temperature electrical resistivity of corrugated semiconductor films is theoretically considered. Nanoscale corrugation enhances the electron-electron scattering contribution to the resistivity resulting in a stepwise resistivity development with increasing corrugation amplitude. The enhanced electron scattering is attributed to the curvature-induced potential energy that affects the motion of electrons confined to a thin curved film. Geometric conditions and microscopic mechanism of the stepwise resis… Show more

“…It is known that mobile carriers whose motion is confined to a thin curved layer behave differently from those on a conventional flat plane because of the curvature-induced electromagnetic field [43,44,45]. Another interesting issue is the effect of atomic lattice registry on nonlinear deformation (i.e.…”
