Abstract
The thermoelectric power and electrical conductance of bundles of indium antimonide nanowires with a diameter of about 5 nm have been measured over the temperature range of 80 K to 400 K. In the range from 80 K to 300 K, the temperature dependence of the conductance of nanowires is close to power law, while the thermopower increases linearly with temperature. The thermoelectric properties of the nanowires are discussed in terms of the Luttinger liquid theory, taking into account enhancement of the electron–electron interaction in one-dimensional conductors.
