Phonons in nanowire

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi ,
I'm doing simulation about the phonons in nanowires by comsol35 depending on the continuum model,then I I've used the structural mechanics module - solid ,strain stress - Eigenfrequency analysis ,by using the GUI not by script and I got at the end the eigenmodes with their eigenfrequencies, but when I wanted to get the wavevectors that correspond the eigenfrequencies I couldn't,
the process I used as the following:
- design the cylindrical nanowire by the GUI radius=20nm, L=225nm and the material is GaAs ,then the sample is meshed (free mesh) then I solved that for 30 eigenfrequency .
finally from the postprocessing one can get the eigenfrequency easily, but the problem is how to get the wavevector.

I still newbie in comsol so if someone knows how to do that please please help me .

How do you define the wave numbers? Based on longitudinal periodicity?

yes, At first, I set lattice constant(= a ), I set periodicity for longitudinal direction.

But I got the bad result(y-axis figure is smaller than expected value.)
