A NUMERICAL RENORMALIZATION GROUP APPROACH FOR AN ELECTRON-PHONON INTERACTION
A finite chain calculation in terms of Hubbard X-operators is explored by setting up a vibronic Harniltonian. The model conveniently transformed into a form so that in the case of strong coupling a numerical renormalization group approach is applicable. To test the technique, a one particle Green function is calculated for the model Harniltonian
متن کاملElectron 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 کاملLow-temperature electron-phonon interaction in Si MOSFETs
We investigate electron-phonon coupling in a silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor by measuring heat flow. Earlier studies of the electron-phonon interaction through similar measurements were complicated by electron diffusion, a competing cooling mechanism. We reduce the diffusion by using an unusually long sample, and account for the remainder by comparing results from two ...
متن کاملThermal Conductivity of Si Nanowires Using Atomistic Phonon Dispersions
The thermal properties of Si nanowires (NWs) are of high interest for a variety of applications such as thermal management and thermoelectricity. Most simulation studies to date use the Si bulk dispersion within a confined geometry. The phonon dispersion in ultra-narrow 1D NWs, however, is different from the bulk dispersion, and can lead to different thermal properties. In this work, we study t...
متن کاملAtomistic modeling of the phonon dispersion in free-standing 100 Si nanowires
Introduction: Nano-structured semiconductor devices play a vital role in areas ranging from CMOS [1] to thermo-electricity [2]. The finite extent and increased surface to volume ratio in the nano-structured devices result in very different phonon dispersions compared to the bulk materials. This work investigates the effect of geometrical confinement on the phonon dispersion, sound velocity(Vsnd...
