Phonon thermal conductivity suppression of bulk silicon nanowire composites for efficient thermoelectric conversion.
Vertically-aligned silicon nanowires (SiNWs) that demonstrate reductions of phonon thermal conductivities are ideal components for thermoelectric devices. In this paper, we present large-area silicon nanowire arrays in various lengths using a silver-induced, electroless-etching method that is applicable to both n- and p-type substrates. The measured thermal conductivities of nanowire composites...
متن کاملTemperature Dependence of Electrical and Thermal Conduction in Single Silver Nanowire
In this work, the thermal and electrical transport in an individual silver nanowire is characterized down to 35 K for in-depth understanding of the strong structural defect induced electron scattering. The results indicate that, at room temperature, the electrical resistivity increases by around 4 folds from that of bulk silver. The Debye temperature (151 K) of the silver nanowire is found 36% ...
متن کاملSize-dependent model for thin film and nanowire thermal conductivity
We present an analytical model for the size-dependence of thin film and nanowire thermal conductivity and compare the predictions to experimental measurements on silicon nanostructures. The model contains no fitting parameters and only requires the bulk lattice constant, bulk thermal conductivity, and an acoustic phonon speed as inputs. By including the mode-dependence of the phonon lifetimes r...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Silicon Nanowire Thermal Conductivity
Monte Carlo simulation is applied to investigate phonon transport in single crystalline Si nanowires. Phonon-phonon normal N and Umklapp U scattering processes are modeled with a genetic algorithm to satisfy energy and momentum conservation. The scattering rates of N and U scattering processes are found from first-order perturbation theory. The thermal conductivity of Si nanowires is simulated ...
