We have measured electron transport in small bundles of identical conducting Molybdenum Selenide nanowires where the number of weakly interacting one-dimensional chains ranges from 1-300. The linear conductance and current in these…
We show that resonant electron transport in semiconductor superlattices with an applied electric and tilted magnetic field can, surprisingly, become more pronounced as the lattice and conduction electron temperature increases from 4.2 K to…
We report on detailed room temperature and low temperature transport properties of double-gate Si MOSFETs with the Si well thickness in the range 7-17 nm. The devices were fabricated on silicon-on-insulator wafers utilizing wafer bonding,…
Phonon dispersions in <100> silicon nanowires (SiNW) are modeled using a Modified Valence Force Field (MVFF) method based on atomistic force constants. The model replicates the bulk Si phonon dispersion very well. In SiNWs, apart from four…
Electron-hole pairs in semiconductors are essential for solar cells and fast electronic circuitry, but the competition between carrier transport and relaxation into heat limits the efficiency and speed. Here we use ultrafast electron…
The influence of electron-electron scattering on the distribution function and transport characteristics of intrinsic monolayer graphene is investigated via an ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. Due to the linear dispersion relation in the…
Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the in-plane transport of spin-polarized electrons in III-V semiconductor quantum wells. The density matrix description of the spin polarization is incorporated in the simulation algorithm. The…
Wave effects of phonons can give rise to controllability of heat conduction beyond that by particle scattering at surfaces and interfaces. In this work, we propose a new class of 3D nanostructure: a silicon-nanowire-cage (SiNWC) structure…
Ability to understand and model the performance limits of nanowire transistors is the key to design of next generation devices. Here, we report studies on high-mobility junction-less gate-all-around nanowire field effect transistor with…
Both the semi-classical and quantum transport properties of F-doped SnO$_2$ thick films ($\sim$1\,$\mu$m) were investigated experimentally. It is found that the resistivity caused by the thermal phonons obeys Bloch-Gr\"{u}neisen law from…
The mobility of electrons and holes in silicon depends on many parameters. Two of them are the electric field and the temperature. It has been observed previously that the mobility in the transition region between ohmic transport and…
Using low-resistance electrical contacts, we have measured the intrinsic high-field transport properties of metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes. Individual nanotubes appear to be able to carry currents with a density exceeding 10^9…
Among all materials, mono-crystalline diamond has one of the highest measured thermal conductivities, with values above 2000 W/m/K at room temperature. This stems from momentum-conserving `normal' phonon-phonon scattering processes…
The effect of the electron temperature on both the light absorption and the scattering by metal nanoparticles (MNs) with excitation of the surface plasmon electron vibrations is studied in the framework of the kinetic theory. The formulae…
Density functional theory and density functional tight-binding are applied to model electron transport in copper nanowires of approximately 1 nm and 3 nm diameters with varying crystal orientation and surface termination. The copper…
We report results regarding the electron transport in vertical quasi-2D layered 1T-TaS2 charge-density-wave devices. The low-frequency noise spectroscopy was used as a tool to study changes in the cross-plane electrical characteristics of…
The calculated electron mobility for a graphene nanoribbon as a function of applied electric field has been found to have a large threshold field for entering a nonlinear transport regime. This field depends on the lattice temperature,…
Electronic transport in low-dimensional structures, such as thin bodies, nanosheets, nanoribbons and nanowires, is strongly affected by electron and phonon confinement, in addition to interface roughness. Here we use a quantum-transport…
Nanowires (NWs) with their quasi-one-dimensionality often present different structural and opto-electronic properties than their thin-film counterparts. The thinner they are the larger these differences are, in particular in the…
Individual highly pure single crystalline silver nanowires (Ag NWs) were investigated with regard to the electrical conductivity $\sigma$, the thermal conductivity $\lambda$ and the Seebeck coefficient $S$ as function of the temperature $T$…
