Conductivity-limiting bipolar thermal conductivity in semiconductors
Intriguing experimental results raised the question about the fundamental mechanisms governing the electron-hole coupling induced bipolar thermal conduction in semiconductors. Our combined theoretical analysis and experimental measurements show that in semiconductors bipolar thermal transport is in general a "conductivity-limiting" phenomenon, and it is thus controlled by the carrier mobility r...
متن کاملTheoretical Evaluation of the Thermal Conductivity in Framework (Clathrate) Semiconductors
We have calculated the room temperature thermal conductivity in semiconductor germanium clathrates using statistical linear-response theory and an equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) approach. A key step in our study is to compute a realistic heat-current J (t) and a corresponding auto-correlation function < J (t) J (0) >. To ensure convergence of our results and to minimize statistical fluctua...
متن کاملConductivity in transparent oxide semiconductors.
Despite an extensive research effort for over 60 years, an understanding of the origins of conductivity in wide band gap transparent conducting oxide (TCO) semiconductors remains elusive. While TCOs have already found widespread use in device applications requiring a transparent contact, there are currently enormous efforts to (i) increase the conductivity of existing materials, (ii) identify s...
متن کاملThermal Conductivity of Nanofluids
Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in base fluids, a new challenge for thermal sciences provided by nanotechnology. Nanofluids have unique features different from conventional solid-liquid mixtures in which mm or μm sized particles of metals and non-metals are dispersed. Due to their excellent characteristics, nanofluids find wide applications in enhancing heat transfer. Research work ...
متن کاملEffects of hole localization on limiting p-type conductivity in oxide and nitride semiconductors
Articles you may be interested in Origin of subgap states in amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O A pathway to p-type wide-band-gap semiconductors Appl. We examine how hole localization limits the effectiveness of substitutional acceptors in oxide and nitride semiconductors and explain why p-type doping of these materials has proven so difficult. Using hybrid density functional calculations, we find that anion...
