Enhanced thermoelectric properties in Sb/Ge core/shell nanowires through vacancy modulation
Abstract In the present work, we have modified the physical and electronic structure of Sb/Ge core/shell nanowires via vacancy creation and doping with foreign atoms with the aim to improve their thermoelectric energy conversion efficiency. Sb/Ge-NWs having a diameter of 1.5 Å show metallicity with...
