Modelling thermoelectric transport in IIIV nanowires using a Boltzmann transport approach: a review

A review of models for determining the thermoelectric transport coefficients [Formula: see text] (Seebeck coefficient), [Formula: see text] (electrical conductivity), and [Formula: see text] (electronic thermal conductivity) is presented, for the cases of bulk and nanowire structures, along with derivations and a discussion of calculation methods. Results for the transport coefficients in GaAs, InAs, InP and InSb are used to determine the …
