Stress-induced growth of single-crystalline lead telluride nanowires and their thermoelectric transport properties

Dedi, Ping-Chung Lee, and Chia-Hua Chien et al.

Uniform single-crystal lead telluride (PbTe) nanowires (NWs) were synthesized using a stress-induced method, which is an alternative technique for synthesizing PbTe NWs without a catalyst. The thermoelectrical transport measurement of a NW with a diameter of 217 nm exhibited a notable enhancement ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 023115 (2013)] published Fri Jul 12, 2013.
