Figure 7From: Efficient thermoelectric energy conversion on quasi-localized electron states in diameter modulated nanowires The total figure of merit ZT versus E F . The curves are for : a uniform nanowire 10 nm thick (black) with κ ph = 1.5 κ 0, and nanowires modulated by one dot (red) with κ ph = 0.5 κ 0 and by five dots (dark green) with κ ph = 0.1 κ 0 , at T = 10 K.Back to article page
