Abstract

Thermoelectric figure of merit of Si and SiGe quantum wires was theoretically investigated rigorously taking into account spatial confinement of both electrons and phonons. The calculations were carried out for cylindrical quantum wires with radius 1.5 nm
由于声子的空间限制,Si和SiGe量子线的热电图性能增强
考虑到电子和声子的空间约束,从理论上对Si和SiGe量子线的热电优值进行了严格的研究。计算对象为半径为1.5 nm
