Single silicon nanowires as inherent heaters and thermometers for thermal conductivity measurements

It is traditionally challenging to measure the thermal conductivity of nanoscale devices. In this Letter, we demonstrate a simple method for the thermal conductivity measurements of silicon nanowires by using the silicon nanowire under test as the thermometer and heater. The silicon nanowire (SiNW)...
