Description

A nanowire is a nanostructure, with the diameter of the order of a nanometer. Alternatively, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length. At these scales, quantum mechanical effects are important.

  1. Plasmonic Core-Multishell Nanowires for Optical Applications

    01 Aug 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Raheem Carless, Amartya Dutta

    LEDs are very useful in today’s society, especially when compared to conventional incandescent and fluorescent lamps. According to the US Department of Energy, by 2027 the use of LEDs could save 348 TWh of electricity, which is the equivalent...

  2. Thermoelectric effects in semiconductor nanostructures: Role of electron and lattice properties

    06 Oct 2010 | | Contributor(s):: Abhijeet Paul, Gerhard Klimeck

    This presentation covers some aspects of present development in the field of thermoelectricity and focuses particularly on the silicon nanowires as potential thermoelectric materials. The electronic and phonon dispersions are calculated and used for the calculation of thermoelectric properties in...
