Schematic diagram for two semi-infinite cylindrical nanowires with an embedded abrupt scattering region made of different materials. Panels (a) and (b) correspond to the convexity-shaped structure with GaAs and AlAs convexity region, panels (c) and (d) correspond to the concavity-shaped structure with GaAs and AlAs concavity region, respectively.
