1 SOLUIONS: Homework: Week hermoelectricity from Atoms to Systems Mark Lundstrom, nanohub- U all 13 here are seven HW questions below. his homework will be graded in multiple choice format no partial credit. Doing the homework before the solutions and tutorial are posted is a great way to test your understanding of the material covered. Some problems may be challenging, but give them a try, and review the tutorial and solutions later. 1) We have discussed the coupled current equations for 3D electrons: E x ρj x + S d dx V/m J Qx π J x ( +κ L ) d dx W/m Consider a nanowire with 1D electrons. Instead of the current density, J x, in A/m, we use the current, I, in A, and instead of the heat current density, J Qx, in W/m, we use the heat current, I Q, in W. Deduce the units of each of the four 1D transport coefficients. e he units of ρ 1D, S 1D, π 1D, and κ 1D, are: Solution: a) Ω-m,V/K,V,W/ ( m-k) b) Ω,V/K,V,W/K c) Ω/m,V/K,V,W-m/K d) Ω/m,V-K,V-K,W/( m-k) e) Ω-m,V/K,V K,W-K/m he coupled current equations in 1D are: E x ρi x + S d dx V/m I Qx π I x ( +κ L ) d dx W (i) (ii) In terms of units, we can write these equations as: nanohub- U all 13 1

Evaluate this expression assuming that the ermi level is located above the middle of the gap, so that only the conduction band need be considered. You may assume that the mean- free- path for backscattering is independent of energy, λ E λ, and parabolic energy bands so that in 3D: M ( E) A m* ( E E π C ) H ( E E C ), where H ( E E C ) is the Heaviside step function.
