The Influence of Thickness Fluctuations on the Electroconductivity and Thermopower of Quantum Semiconductor Wire
Journal Title: Фізика і хімія твердого тіла - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
It was determined the electrical conductivity and thermopower of semiconductor quantum wire conditioned by a random field of Gaussian fluctuations of wire thickness. We present the results for cases degenerate and nondegenerate statistics of carriers. The considered mechanism of relaxation of the charge carriers is essential for sufficiently thin and clean GaAs wire at low temperatures and allows in principle the possibility of increasing the value of thermopower compared to the case of three-dimensional solid model.
