Abstract

A theoretical model for the electrical conductivity size effect of square nanowires is proposed in this manuscript, which features combining the three main carrier scattering mechanisms in polycrystalline nanowires together, namely, background scattering, external surface scattering, as well as grain boundary scattering. Comparisons to traditional models and experiment data show that this model achieves a higher correlation with the experiment data.
