متن کاملFirst-principles simulation of electron mean-free-path spectra and thermoelectric properties in silicon
The mean free paths (MFPs) of energy carriers are of critical importance to the nanoengineering of better thermoelectric materials. Despite significant progress in the first-principles– based understanding of the spectral distribution of phonon MFPs in recent years, the spectral distribution of electron MFPs remains unclear. In this work, we compute the energy-dependent electron scatterings and...

متن کاملElectron mean free path in elemental metals
The electron mean free path k and carrier relaxation time s of the twenty most conductive elemental metals are determined by numerical integration over the Fermi surface obtained from first-principles, using constant k or s approximations and wave-vector dependent Fermi velocities vf (k). The average vf deviates considerably from the free-electron prediction, even for elements with spherical Fe...
متن کاملMeasurements of electron inelastic mean free paths in materials.
We present a method for determining inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs) in materials using high-accuracy measurements of x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). For electron energies below 100 eV, theoretical predictions have large variability and alternate measurement techniques exhibit significant uncertainties. In this regime, the short IMFP makes photoelectrons ideal for structural determinat...
