Abstract
A theoretical model based on the basic electronic band structure of bulk Bi is developed to predict the dependence of the band structure and thermoelectric properties on nanowire width. By carefully tailoring the Bi wire size and carrier concentration, substantial enhancement in the thermoelectric figure of merit is expected for small nanowire widths.
