This work provides an in-depth study of how the thermal conductivity of stoichiometric [110] Bi 2 Te 3 nanowires becomes affected when reducing its diameter from an experimental and theoretical point of view. The thermal conductivity was observed to decrease more than 70% (from 1.78 ± 0.46 W K −1 m...
