Thermoelectric Characterization of Single-Crystalline Nanowires
Project description
TIn the framework of phase one of this cluster project an initial design of a Thermoelectric Nanowire Characterization Platform (TNCP) was developed. Different strategies for the controlled assembly and electrical contacting of nanowires on the platform were presented and evaluated by successful measurements of the Seebeck-coefficient of single nanowires.
Currently, the project is in the phase two, in which the main focus is on the following:
- Optimization of the TNCP design with the goal of building a plug-and-play platform
- Establishing a controlled deposition method of nanowires on the platform by means of optical tweezer
- Improvement of the ohmic contact on the platform
