Transitioning from Si to SiGe Nanowires as Thermoelectric Material in Silicon-Based Microgenerators

The thermoelectric performance of nanostructured low dimensional silicon and silicon-germanium has been functionally compared device-wise. The arrays of nanowires of both materials, grown by a VLS-CVD (Vapor-Liquid-Solid Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, have been monolithically integrated in a sil...
