Unusually low thermal conductivity of gallium nitride nanowires
We report measurements of thermal conductivity κ on individual gallium nitride nanowires (GaN NWs) with diameters ranging from 97 to 181 nm grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition. We observed unexpectedly small kappa values, in the range of 13–19 W/m K at 300 K, with very weak diameter dependence. We also observe unusual power law κ~Tn behavior with n=1.8 at low temperature. Electronenergy-...
متن کاملDiameter control of gallium nitride nanowires
Gallium nitride GaN nanowires are grown with controlled diameter and position by combining electron-beam lithography and naturally occurring surface tension forces. Lithographically defined particle diameters were held constant while only the film thickness was varied. Annealing drives as-deposited metal disks toward hemispheres according to conservation of volume constraints, resulting in well...
متن کاملUnusually high thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes
Combining equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations with accurate carbon potentials, we determine the thermal conductivity lambda of carbon nanotubes and its dependence on temperature. Our results suggest an unusually high value, lambda approximately 6600 W/m K, for an isolated (10,10) nanotube at room temperature, comparable to the thermal conductivity of a hypothetical iso...
متن کاملThermal and electrical conductivity of Aluminium Nitride nanofluids
This study was designed to experimentally measure the thermal and electrical conductivities of Aluminium Nitride/Ethylene Glycol (AlN/EG) nanofluids. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to characterize the shape of AlN nanoparticles. Nanofluids with different particle volume concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% were utilized. The thermal and electrical conductivities of the...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of electron transport properties of gallium nitride nanowires
We report transport properties of gallium nitride GaN nanowires grown using direct reaction of ammonia and gallium vapor. Reliable devices, such as four-terminal resistivity measuring structures and field-effect transistors, were realized by dielectrophoretically aligning the nanowires on an oxidized silicon substrate and subsequently applying standard microfabrication techniques. Room-temperat...
