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 کاملThermoelectric properties of superlattice nanowires
We report here on a theoretical model for the electronic structure and transport properties of superlattice nanowires, considering their cylindrical wire boundary and multiple anisotropic carrier pockets. The thermoelectric properties of superlattice nanowires made of various lead salts ~PbS, PbSe, and PbTe! are investigated as a function of the segment length, wire diameter, crystal orientatio...

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 کاملThermoelectric and structural characterizations of individual electrodeposited bismuth telluride nanowires
The thermoelectric properties and crystal structure of individual electrodeposited bismuth telluride nanowires NWs were characterized using a microfabricated measurement device and transmission electron microscopy. Annealing in hydrogen was used to obtain electrical contact between the NW and the supporting Pt electrodes. By fitting the measured Seebeck coefficient with a two-band model, the NW...
