Acoustical properties of rectangular GaN quantum wires covered by elastically dissimilar barriers with clamped outer surfaces

We had theoretically studied the energy spectra and group velocities of the acoustic phonons in the rectangular GaN nanowire, covered with elastically dissimilar barriers. It was established that the number of quantum branches increases and spatial degeneracy by wave number q disappears in suc...
