Electronic Transport in Fully Oxidized Silicon Nanowires — •Mohammad Koleini1, Lucio Colombi Ciacchi1, and Marivi Fernandez-Serra21Hybrid Materials Interfaces (HMI), Faculty of Production Engineering and Bremen Center for Computational Materials Science, University of Bremen, 28359 Bremen, Germany — 2Department of Physics and Astronomy and New York Center for Computational Science, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York 11794-3800, USA

We present the first realistic model of an ulta-thin Silicon Nanowire (SiNW) grown along the <100> crystallographic direction with a natively fully oxidized surface. Ballistic transport in such SiNW has been studied by ab initio modeling, combining density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's function techniques. A comparison with the pristine SiNW reveals the effect of oxidation on the electronic properties of the wire. The effect of p- and n-type dopants on the conductance of the oxidized SiNW has been studied extensively. The results indicate a strong coupling between the electronic properties of the dopants and the wire oxide shell, showing the need to explicitly consider the core-shell structure of SiNWs in theoretical transport studies.
