Towards Optimizing Width Modulation for Maximum Thermoelectric Efficiency

Maximizing thermoelectric efficiency is typically addressed as identical to minimizing parasitic thermal conduction. Such an approach relies on the assumption that the adopted strategy mainly affects phonons, leaving electrons intact, and is not justified in many cases of non-uniform nanostructures...
