Abstract

Confined acoustic modes are derived for a free-standing nanometer-scale cylindrical polar semiconductor quantum wire. The piezoelectric scattering Hamiltonian is calculated for the interaction of charge carriers with the lowest-order azimuthally symmetric torsional modes in such nanometer-scale quantum wires.
