Abstract

We show that the governing equations for the electromechanical fields of wurtzite structures are axisymmetric, hence all electric- and mechanical-field solutions are axisymmetric as well and the original three-dimensional problem can be solved as a two-dimensional mathematical-model problem [1]. We present results of the combined influence of lattice mismatch, piezoelectric effects, and spontaneous polarization for wurtzite (WZ) structures consisting of a GaN quantum dot embedded in a AlN matrix.
