Abstract :
In this paper, the universal velocity-field characteristics for nanowire of arbitrary degeneracy were studied. The nanowires were calculated using Fermi-Dirac distribution. The Fermi level rises as quantum states for the additional accommodation of electrons. Al low values of the electric field, the emission of the optical phonons does not affect the ohmic transport of the nanowires.
