Defect Facilitated Phonon Transport through Kinks in Boron Carbide Nanowires.
Nanowires of complex morphologies, such as kinked wires, have been recently synthesized and demonstrated for novel devices and applications. However, the effects of these morphologies on thermal transport have not been well studied. Through systematic experimental measurements, we show that single-crystalline, defect-free kinks in boron carbide nanowires can pose a thermal resistance up to ∼30 ...
متن کاملDraft: Phonon Transport in Asymmetric Sawtooth Nanowires
Thermal transport in asymmetric sawtooth nanowires was investigated. The boundaries reflect phonons differently depending on the frequency and momentum of the phonon. These systems show thermally rectifying behavior when the boundary reflections are a function of both the direction the phonon is traveling and the frequency of the phonon. This rectifying effect could be useful for thermal manage...
متن کاملQuantifying surface roughness effects on phonon transport in silicon nanowires.
Although it has been qualitatively demonstrated that surface roughness can reduce the thermal conductivity of crystalline Si nanowires (SiNWs), the underlying reasons remain unknown and warrant quantitative studies and analysis. In this work, vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) grown SiNWs were controllably roughened and then thoroughly characterized with transmission electron microscopy to obtain detaile...
متن کاملTransport coefficients of InAs nanowires as a function of diameter.
InAs nanowires (NWs) have been the subject of intensive research recently in both synthesis and transport studies due to their potential for future high-speed nanoelectronic devices. Back-, top-, and wrap-gate NW fieldeffect transistors (NWFETs) have been employed to study the low-field transport properties of InAs NWs at room temperature. Among these properties, the capacitive effects of inter...
متن کاملEffect of growth temperature on the morphology and phonon properties of InAs nanowires on Si substrates
Catalyst-free, vertical array of InAs nanowires (NWs) are grown on Si (111) substrate using MOCVD technique. The as-grown InAs NWs show a zinc-blende crystal structure along a < 111 > direction. It is found that both the density and length of InAs NWs decrease with increasing growth temperatures, while the diameter increases with increasing growth temperature, suggesting that the catalyst-free ...
