Thermal Contraction of Electrodeposited Bi/BiSb Superlattice Nanowires

چکیده
The lattice parameter of Bi/BiSb superlattice nanowire (SLNW) has been measured using in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction method. The single crystalline Bi/BiSb SLNW arrays with different bilayer thicknesses have been fabricated within the porous anodic alumina membranes (AAMs) by a charge-controlled pulse electrodeposition. Different temperature dependences of the lattice parameter and thermal expansion coefficient were found for the SLNWs. It was found that the thermal expansion coefficient of the SLNWs with a large bilayer thickness has weak temperature dependence, and the interface stress and defect are the main factors responsible for the thermal contraction of the SLNWs.

متن کاملThermal conductivity of SiÕSiGe superlattice nanowires
The thermal conductivities of individual single crystalline Si/SiGe superlattice nanowires with diameters of 58 and 83 nm were measured over a temperature range from 20 to 320 K. The observed thermal conductivity shows similar temperature dependence as that of two-dimensional Si/SiGe superlattice films. Comparison with the thermal conductivity data of intrinsic Si nanowires suggests that alloy ...
متن کاملElectrodeposition of Thermoelectric Superlattice Nanowires
There is a renewed interest in the field of thermoelectrics because of the remarkable efficiency improvement that can be achieved in nanostructured materials, for example, superlattice thin films and quantum dots. Theoretical calculations predict that further enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit can be achieved in superlattice nanowires (zero-dimensional) [5] rather than convention...
متن کاملUltralow thermal conductivity of isotope-doped silicon nanowires.
The thermal conductivity of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) is investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. It is found that the thermal conductivity of SiNWs can be reduced exponentially by isotopic defects at room temperature. The thermal conductivity reaches the minimum, which is about 27% of that of pure 28Si NW, when doped with 50% isotope atoms. The thermal conductivity of isotopic-super...
متن کاملFinite-size effects in bismuth nanowires
Arrays of semimetallic Bi nanowires, fabricated by electrodeposition, exhibit strong finite-size effects in transport properties as the carrier mean-free path is limited by the wire dimensions. We have observed a resistivity enhancement, a very large positive magnetoresistance, and a resistance maximum that depends on the strength and orientation of the magnetic field and the nanowire diameter....
