Low-temperature properties of semimetal nanowires

A systematic study of the electrical resistance and thermopower of Bi nanowires has revealed the occurrence of a critical thickness of the wire below which structural defects can strongly influence the charge transport. At low temperatures, in Bi nanowires fabricated by the melt spinning method, the...
