Size-Dependent Transport and Thermoelectric Properties of Individual Polycrystalline Bismuth Nanowires
Thermoelectric materials convert a temperature difference into electricity and vice versa. Such materials utilize the Seebeck effect for power generation and the Peltier effect for cooling. In the Seebeck effect, a temperature difference across a material causes the diffusion of charged carriers across that gradient, thus creating a voltage difference between the hot and cold ends of the materi...
متن کاملSize-Dependent Surface Migration of Au Alloys on Si Nanowires at Different Cooling Rates.
Understanding metal alloy migration in metal-catalyzed nanowires growth is a prerequisite for improving its potential applications in the field of nanodevices. Here, we explored the surface migration of Au alloys in vertically aligned Si nanowires with different cooling rates. We varied the diameter of Au alloys by controlling the thickness of Au film as a catalyst for SiNW growth, and found th...
متن کاملThermoelectric properties of gated Si nanowires
The thermoelectric (TE) performance of materials is determined by the figure of merit ZT=σS/κ, where σ denotes the electrical conductivity, S the Seebeck coefficient and κ the thermal conductivity. Large improvements in ZT have recently been reported in nanoscale materials due to drastic reduction in κ. Despite this improvement, however, ZT still remains too low for allowing large scale TE depl...
متن کاملNanograin effects on the thermoelectric properties of poly-Si nanowires
In this work we perform a theoretical analysis of the thermoelectric performance of polycrystalline Si NWs by considering both electron and phonon transport. The simulations are calibrated with experimental data from monocrystalline and polycrystalline structures. We show that heavily doped polycrystalline NW structures of grain size below 100nm might offer an alternative approach to achieve si...
متن کاملFabrication of Straight Silicon Nanowires and Their Conductive Properties
Straight Si nanowires (Si NWs) with tens to hundreds of micrometers in length and 40-200 nm in diameter are achieved by annealing a Si substrate coated with metallic Fe. The influences of annealing gas and temperature on the formation of Si NWs are investigated. It is found that the annealing gas has significant impacts on the microstructure of the NWs. By increasing the hydrogen ratio in the f...
