Thermal Conductivity of GaAs Nanowire Arrays Measured by the 3ω Method
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vertical nanowire (NW) arrays are the basis for a variety of nanoscale devices. Understanding heat transport in these devices is an important concern, especially for prospective thermoelectric applications. To facilitate thermal conductivity measurements on as-grown NW arrays, a common NW-composite device architecture was adapted for use with the 3ω method. We describe the application of this technique to obtain thermal conductivity measurements on two GaAs NW arrays featuring ~130 nm diameter NWs with a twinning superlattice (TSL) and a polytypic (zincblende/wurtzite) crystal structure, respectively. Our results indicate NW thermal conductivities of 5.2 ± 1.0 W/m-K and 8.4 ± 1.6 W/m-K in the two samples, respectively, showing a significant reduction in the former, which is the first such measurements on TSL NWs. Nearly an order of magnitude difference from the bulk thermal conductivity (~50 W/m-K) is observed for the TSL NW sample, one of the lowest values measured to date for GaAs NWs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
