About this document

Bismuth Nanowires: Finite & Quantum Effects by Kajari Chatterjee is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes finite- and quantum-size effects in bismuth nanowires. It discusses how bismuth is an ideal material to study these effects due to its unique electronic properties including a large mean free path and Fermi wavelength. Finite-size effects include additional electron scattering at surfaces and grain boundaries, increasing electrical resistivity. Quantum-size effects occur when size is comparable to the Fermi wavelength, changing density of states and transport properties. Theoretical
