| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ohmic electrical contacts on Bi nanowires ~100 nm in diameter were fabricated in order to measure thermoelectric properties. Focused ion beam and scanning electron micrograph dual beam processing was used to fabricate local electrodes on Bi nanowires. The Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity of Bi nanowires were successfully measured using the cryostat equipped with the stirling refrigerator from -120 degree C to the room temperature. Moreover, Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance and magneto-Seebeck coefficient were evaluated experimentally and theoretically. The measured results were successfully explained quantitatively and qualitatively by the calculation model using the Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation with Matthiessen's rule considering the carrier collision at the wire boundary.
