Thermoelectric Transport Phenomena in Semiconducting Nanostructures
Title of Document: THERMOELECTRIC TRANSPORT PHENOMENA IN SEMICONDUCTING NANOSTRUCTURES Jane Elizabeth Cornett, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Associate Professor Oded Rabin, Department of Materials Science and Engineering The efficiencies of state-of-the-art thermoelectric devices made from bulk materials remain too low for widespread application. Early predictions by Hicks and Dressel...
متن کاملQuantum thermal transport in nanostructures
In this colloquia review we discuss methods for thermal transport calculations for nanojunctions connected to two semi-infinite leads served as heat-baths. Our emphases are on fundamental quantum theory and atomistic models. We begin with an introduction of the Landauer formula for ballistic thermal transport and give its derivation from scattering wave point of view. Several methods (scatterin...

متن کاملQuantum transport in ferromagnetic permalloy nanostructures
We studied phase-coherent phenomena in mesoscopic permalloy Ni81Fe19 samples by exploring lowtemperature transport. Both differential conductance as a function of bias voltage and magnetoconductance of individual wires display conductance fluctuations. Analysis of these fluctuations yields a phase coherence length of 250 nm at 25 mK as well as a 1 / T temperature dependence. To suppress conduct...
متن کاملParticle Monte Carlo simulation of quantum phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures
Quantum effects in semiconductor devices are usually described in terms of wave functions obtained from the solution of the Schrödinger equation. However, it is difficult to simulate practical devices where clear semiclassical and quantum features coexist, as is the case for nanoscale devices at normal temperatures. We present here a particle description of quantum phenomena derived starting fr...
