Hi. I am studying the core shell quantum dots (QDs). Is there any specific formula to calculate the lattice mismatch between PbS and MnS? Thank you for helping.
Remember that core-shell nanoparticles have a lot of surface where the atoms are bonded to fewer neighbouring atoms, sometimes involving surface reconstructions, so some strain may partially relax without obvious extended defects. Hence, the concept of lattice misfit is still useful but stress/strain experiments from bulk, bixaxially strained thin films and core-shell nanoparticles cannot be compared in a simplistic way.
Hi, In core shell with one material having orthorhombic phase (a, b, c not equal) and one is cubic (a=b=c),
I want to know that in order to calculate lattice mismatch between them which lattice constant value should be taken for first material as all three are different.
