We have investigated a new metallic core-shell nanowire (NW) geometry of that could be obtained experimentally, that is silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) NWs with cores constituted by group-10 elements palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt). These NWs are optimized with two different diameters of 1.5 Å and 2.5 Å. The nanowires having diameter of 1.5 Å show semi-metallic nature with GGA-PBE calculation and metallic nature while spin orbit interaction (SOC) is included. The quantum conductance of the NWs ...[more]
