Abstract

Experimental investigation of thermoelectric properties of nanowires with diameter of about 5 nm was carried out. Chrysotile asbestos (a natural mineral) was used for a sample preparation. Its nano-sized channels were filled under pressure by melted InSb or Te. The measurements showed that temperature dependences of electrical resistance and thermopower of produced quantum wires differ considerably from corresponding dependences of bulk materials. It is possible to conclude that the results obtained are better described by Lattinger liquid model than by usual Fermi gas one.
