Figure 8.1. Schematic representations of nanocomposite materials with characteristic length scale: (a) nanolayered composites with
nanoscalebilayer repeat length ; (b) nanofilamentary (nanowire) composites composed of a matrix with embedded filaments of nanoscale diameter d; (c) nanoparticulate composites composed of a matrix with
embedded particles of nanoscale diameter d.
Figure 8.2. Schematic energy band diagram of GaAs/GaAlxAs1-x quantum well. An electron (represented by its wavefunction ) can be considered
as partially confined in the quantum well of width equal to the GaAs thickness. The barrier height E is equal to the difference in the energies of the bottom of the conduction band Ec for the two layer materials. Ev is the energy of the top of the valence band and Egap is the band gap energy.
