Phonon Transport in SiGe-Based Nanocomposites and Nanowires for Thermoelectric Applications

Published in MRS Online Proceedings Library Archive, 2015

In this work, we adapt the phonon Boltzmann transport equation under the relaxation time approximation to a broad range of SiGe nanocomposites. Our results show thermal transport in SiGe nanocomposites and nanowires is reduced significantly below their bulk alloy counterparts.
