Disordered Ballistic Bismuth Nano‐waveguides for Highly Efficient Thermoelectric Energy Conversion
Abstract: Junctions based on electronic ballistic waveguides, such as semiconductor nanowires or nanoribbons with transverse structural variations in the order of a large fraction of their Fermi wavelength, are suggested as highly efficient thermoelectric (TE) devices. Full harnessing of their potential requires a capability to either deterministically induce structural variations that tailor their transmission properties at the Fermi level or alternatively to form waveguides that are disordered (chaotic) but can be structurally modified continuously until favorable TE properties are achieved. Well‐established methods to realize either of these routes do not exist. Here, disordered bismuth (Bi) waveguides are reported, which are both formed and structurally tuned by electromigration until their efficiency as TE devices is maximized. In accordance with theory, the conductance of the most efficient TE waveguides is in the sub quantum of conductance regime. The stability of these structures is found to be substantially higher than other actively studied devices such as single molecule junctions.
