Abstract

We describe an analytical method to calculate the strain field and the corresponding band gap modulation induced in a quantum well by a surface stressor of arbitrary shape. In this way, it is possible to engineer the confinement potential of different strained nanostructures based on patterned heterojunctions. Band gap modulations up to 130–140 meV are predicted for suitably designed II–VI/III–V and III–V/III–V heterostructures.
