Plasmon thermal conductivity of thin Au and Ag films
Dong-min Kim, Jeongmin Nam, Bong Jae Lee
We investigated the thermal conductivity of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along thin Au and Ag films on a SiO substrate with a Ti adhesive layer. To determine t…
Bifacial near-field thermophotovoltaic converter with transparent intermediate substrate
Minwoo Choi, Jaeman Song, Bong Jae Lee
Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) converters are capable of generating electrical energy from infrared radiation emitted by an emitter powered by waste heat or solar energy. Key performance…
Boosting thermal conductivity by surface plasmon polaritons propagating along a thin Ti film
Dong-min Kim, Sinwoo Choi, Jungwan Cho +2
We experimentally demonstrate a boosted in-plane thermal conduction by surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along a thin Ti film on a glass substrate. Owing to a lossy nat…
Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion in far-to-near-field transition regime
Jaeman Song, Junho Jang, Mikyung Lim +3
Recent experimental studies on near-field thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion have mainly focused on enhancing performance via photon tunneling of evanescent waves. In the s…
Comprehensive analysis of optimized near-field tandem thermophotovoltaic system
Jaeman Song, Minwoo Choi, Mikyung Lim +2
It is well known that performance of a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) device can be enhanced if the vacuum gap between the thermal emitter and the TPV cell becomes nanoscale due to the p…
Measurement of effective thermal conductivity of LaNi powder packed bed
Dong-min Kim, Joong Bae Kim, Jungchul Lee +1
Effective thermal conductivity of LaNi powder packed bed was analyzed with customized guarded hot-plate (GHP) apparatus. Here, GHP was designed for precise measurement of effec…
Tailoring the Spectral Absorption Coefficient of a Blended Plasmonic Nanofluid Using a Customized Genetic Algorithm
Junyong Seo, Caiyan Qin, Jungchul Lee +1
Recently, plasmonic nanofluids (i.e., a suspension of plasmonic nanoparticles in a base fluid) have been widely employed in direct-absorption solar collectors because the localized…
Surface-plasmon-enhanced near-field radiative heat transfer between planar surfaces with a thin-film plasmonic coupler
Mikyung Lim, Jaeman Song, Seung S. Lee +2
In last decade, there have been enormous efforts to experimentally show the near-field enhancement of radiative heat transfer between planar structures. Several recent experiments…
Thermal Conductivity Enhancement by Surface Electromagnetic Waves Propagating along Multilayered Structures with Asymmetric Surrounding Media
