In this paper we report experimental investigation of the in-plane thermoelectric properties of Si/Ge superlattices grown on silicon-on-insulator wafers. A two-wire 3ω method was employed to measure the in-plane thermal conductivity of the superlattice sample investigated. The in-plane Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of the same sample are also measured. Experimental data are compared with the results of theoretical models of carrier transport based on carrier pocket engineering and partial diffuse phonon interface scattering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
