Abstract
The present invention provides high density nanowire arrays in a glassy matrix comprising one or more thermoelectric fibers embedded in an electrically insulating material such that the thermoelectric material exhibits quantum confinement. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the thermoelectric material comprises PbTe and the glassy matrix comprises an electrically insulating material comprising a binary, ternary or higher component glass such as pyrex, borosilcate, aluminosilicate, quartz. The glass may also be formed from multiple constituents but not limited to lead oxide, tellurium dioxide and silicon dioxide, alumina, calcium oxide etc.
