We f ind that s of SiGe NWs are ᾿ dominated by alloy scatterings. Moreover, s of SiGe NWs display a temperature-independent at line and the observed thermal conductivity phase diagram of SiGe NWs is more asymmetric than that of bulks. T he extraordinary heat transfer propert ies observed in such a model alloy system suggest t hat employ ing st ruct ure engineering to alloyed t hermal conductors is an effective route for fabricating artificial phononic crystals and a promising direction for t hermoelectric research.
