Reduced thermal conductivity in nanoengineered rough Ge and GaAs nanowires.
We model and compare the thermal conductivity of rough semiconductor nanowires (NWs) of Si, Ge, and GaAs for thermoelectric devices. On the basis of full phonon dispersion relations, the effect of NW surface roughness on thermal conductivity is derived from perturbation theory and appears as an efficient way to scatter phonons in Si, Ge, and GaAs NWs with diameter D < 200 nm. For small diameter...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Tin Oxide Nanowires
The aim of this research is preparation of SnO2 nanowires by means of Thermal chemical reaction vapor transport deposition (TCRVTD) method from SnO powders. The morphology, chemical composition and microstructure properties of the nanowires are characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), EDS, and XRD. The XRD diffraction patterns reveal that the SnO2 nanowires have...
متن کاملTuning Lattice Thermal Conductance in Ultra-Scaled Hollow SiNW: Role of Porosity Size, Density and Distribution
Porous crystalline Si nanowires (PC-SiNW) represent an attractive solution for enhancing the thermoelectric efficiency (ZT) of SiNWs by reducing the lattice thermal conductance (κl). A modified valence force field (MVFF) phonon model along with Landauer’s approach is used to analyze the ballistic κl in PC-SiNWs. A systematic study focusing on the influence of pore size, density, and distributio...
متن کاملDetermining factors of thermoelectric properties of semiconductor nanowires
It is widely accepted that low dimensionality of semiconductor heterostructures and nanostructures can significantly improve their thermoelectric efficiency. However, what is less well understood is the precise role of electronic and lattice transport coefficients in the improvement. We differentiate and analyze the electronic and lattice contributions to the enhancement by using a nearly param...
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...
