These environments efficiently screen the potential of the impurities so that their ionization energy strongly decreases with respect to the case of freestanding nanowires. It is also shown that the carriers trapped by the impurities form a polaron due to the response of the ions in the surrounding oxide layer. We predict that the polaron shift represents a large part of the impurity ionization energy, in particular, in HfO2. Our work demonstrates the importance of screening and polaronic effects on the transport properties in nanoscale devices based on Si nanowiresShow less >
