Ab Initio Study of Strain Effects on the Quasiparticle Bands and Effective Masses in Silicon

Using ab initio computational methods, we study the structural and electronic properties of strained silicon, which has emerged as a promising technology to improve the performance of silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. In particular, higher electron mobilities are obse...
