Large thermoelectric figure-of-merits from SiGe nanowires by simultaneously measuring electrical and thermal transport properties.
The strongly correlated thermoelectric properties have been a major hurdle for high-performance thermoelectric energy conversion. One possible approach to avoid such correlation is to suppress phonon transport by scattering at the surface of confined nanowire structures. However, phonon characterist...
