Abstract
In this work, a continuumthree-dimensional axi-symmetricalmodel for a nonlinearcoupled multiphysics system is constructed accounting for self-consistency in electromechanical fields. A cylindrical GaN/AIN wurtzite nano-heterostructure is considered so as to simplify the mathematical problem to a two-dimensional model. To cope with the inherent discontinuity of the physical parameters and lattice mismatch across the interface, the domain-decomposition strategy is combined together with the Chebyshev spectral methods for the numerical analysis of the nonlinear problem. We report numerical results in the current presentation. We provide details on continuous mechanical and electric displacements and quantify jumps of discontinuities in the electric fields and strain distributions occurring across the interface between the two material. The importance of using a nonlinear model (with electrostriction) is investigated by comparison with a linear model (without electrostriction). We also point out significant differences qualitatively in the self-consistent electric fields and strains found using a two-dimensional and a one-dimensional model analysis. © 2008 Civil-Comp Press.
