Thermal Conductivity Measurements of GaAs Nanowire Arrays by 3ω-method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0047-WXH)

Introduction

Vertical nanowire (NW) arrays are the basis for a variety of nanoscale devices. Understanding heat transport in these devices is an important concern, especially for prospective thermoelectric applications. <br />GaAs (gallium arsenide) is most commonly used in making of a solar cell, because it absorbs relatively more energy from the incident solar radiations having relatively higher absorption co-efficient.
