The electronic structures of InSb1−xNx nanowires are investigated using the ten-band k·p method. It is found that nitrogen increases the Rashba coefficient of the nanowires dramatically. For thick nanowires, the Rashba coefficient may increase by more than 20 times. The semiconductor-metal transit...
