Cluster expansion and optimization of thermal conductivity in SiGe nanowires

We investigate the parametrization and optimization of thermal conductivity in silicon-germanium alloy nanowires by the cluster-expansion technique. Si1−xGex nanowires are of interest for thermoelectric applications and the reduction in lattice thermal conductivity (κL) is desired for enhancing the...
