Mean Electric Field of Dielectric Nanoparticle

Abstract

The nanoscale effect of the formation of an electric field near the surface of a dielectric nanoparticle is discussed within the framework of the proposed model based on the reconstruction of the crystal surface, including the splitting of the surface atomic layer into two parallel sublayers consisting of atoms with only positive or only negative effective static electric charges, respectively. The mean electric field potential and strength are obtained depending on the distance from the surface and the numerical values of their parameters for hexagonal boron nitride are estimated.
