46. This definition of the oscillator strength, meant to compare the different nanowires, does not include a 2/ (1+ κ∞) factor in Fx and Fy that would account for the ratio of the perpendicular field inside to the perpendicular field outside a nanowire [see, e.g., M. Califano and A. Zunger, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.70.165317 70, 165317 (2004)].
