Electron Transport in Si Nanowires
We investigate electron transport in silicon nanowires taking into account acoustic, non-polar optical phonons and surface/interface roughness scattering. We find that at very high transverse fields the reduced density of final states to which the carriers can scatter into gives rise to a reduced influence of interface-roughness scattering, which is promising result from a fabrication point of ...
متن کاملElectron transport in indium arsenide nanowires
The vapor–liquid–solid growth of semiconductor nanowires led to the implementation of engineered electronic and optoelectronic one-dimensional nanostructures with outstanding promise for device applications. To realize this promise, detailed understanding and control over their growth, crystal structure, and transport properties and their combined impact on device performance is vital. Here, we...
متن کاملElectron Transport in a Model Si Transistor
A model transistor is de ned and used to understand steady-state electron transport in nanoscale silicon transistors. For this model device, the electric eld pro le is xed and not computed self-consistently from the carrier density pro le. The current versus voltage (I-V) characteristics of the model device as well as the internal carrier density and velocity pro les are computed by solving the...
متن کاملTuning thermal transport in Si nanowires by isotope engineering.
We study thermal transport in isotopically disordered Si nanowires, discussing the feasibility of phonon engineering for thermoelectric applications within these systems. To this purpose, we carry out atomistic molecular dynamics and nonequilibrium Green's function calculations to characterize the dependence of the thermal conductance as a function of the isotope concentration, isotope radial d...
متن کاملStrong Surface Orientation Dependent Thermal Transport in Si Nanowires
Thermoelectrics, which convert waste heat to electricity, offer an attractive pathway for addressing an important niche in the globally growing landscape of energy demand. Research to date has focused on reducing the thermal conductivity relative to the bulk. Si nanowires (NWs) have received exceptional attention due to their low-dimensionality, abundance of availability, and high carrier mobil...
