We have measured the thermopower and the thermal conductivity of individual silicon and indium arsenide nanowires (NWs). In this study, we evaluate a self-heating method to determine the thermal conductivity λ. Experimental validation of this method was performed on highly n-doped Si NWs with diameters ranging from 20xa0nm to 80xa0nm. The Si NWs exhibited electrical resistivity of

ρ=(8±4)mΩcm at room temperature and Seebeck coefficient of −(250xa0±xa0100)xa0μV/K. The thermal conductivity of Si NWs measured using the proposed method is very similar to previously reported values; e.g., for Si NWs with 50xa0nm diameter, λ = 23xa0W/(mxa0K) was obtained. Using the same method, we investigated InAs NWs with diameter of 100xa0nm and resistivities of

ρ=(25±5)mΩcm at room temperature. Thermal conductivity of λ = 1.8xa0W/(mxa0K) was obtained, which is about 20 to 30 times smaller than in bulk InAs. We analyzed the accuracy of the self-heating method by means of analytical and numerical solution of the one-dimensional (1-D) heat diffusion equation taking various loss channels into account. For our NWs suspended from the substrate with low-impedance contacts the relative error can be estimated to bexa0≤25%.

Precise measurements of a complete set of thermoelectric parameters on a single indium-arsenide nanowire (NW) have been performed using highly sensitive, micro-fabricated sensing devices based on the heater/sensor principle. The devices were fabricated as micro electro-mechanical systems consisting of silicon nitride membranes structured with resistive gold heaters/sensors. Preparation, operation and characterization of the devices are described in detail. Thermal decoupling of the heater/sensor platforms has been optimized reaching thermal conductances as low as 20 nW K(-1) with a measurements sensitivity below 20 nW K(-1). The InAs NWs were characterized in terms of thermal conductance, four-probe electrical conductance and thermopower (Seebeck coefficient), all measured on a single NW. The temperature dependence of the parameters determining the thermoelectric figure-of-merit of an InAs NW was acquired in the range 200-350 K featuring a minor decrease of the thermal conductivity from 2.7 W (m K)(-1) to 2.3 W (m K)(-1).
