Efficient thermoelectric energy conversion on quasi-localized electron states in diameter modulated nanowires
<p>Abstract</p> <p>It is known that the thermoelectric efficiency of nanowires increases when their diameter decreases. Recently, we proposed that increase of the thermoelectric efficiency could be achieved by modulating the diameter of the nanowires. We showed that the electron th...
