Spatial profiles of photon chemical potential in near-field thermophotovoltaic cells
Dudong Feng, Eric J. Tervo, Dragica Vasileska +3
Emitted photons stemming from the radiative recombination of electron-hole pairs carry chemical potential in radiative energy converters. This luminescent effect can substantially…
Coupled Charge and Radiation Transport Processes in Thermophotovoltaic and Thermoradiative Cells
William A. Callahan, Dudong Feng, Zhuomin M. Zhang +3
Accurate modeling of charge transport and both thermal and luminescent radiation is crucial to the understanding and design of radiative thermal energy converters. Charge carrier d…
Solar Thermoradiative-Photovoltaic Energy Conversion
Eric J. Tervo, William A. Callahan, Eric S. Toberer +2
We propose a solar thermal energy conversion system consisting of a solar absorber, a thermoradiative cell or negative illumination photodiode, and a photovoltaic cell. Because it…
Thermal radiation in systems of many dipoles
Eric J. Tervo, Mathieu Francoeur, Baratunde A. Cola +1
Systems of many nanoparticles or volume-discretized bodies exhibit collective radiative properties that could be used for enhanced, guided, or tunable thermal radiation. These are…
Photonic thermal conduction by infrared plasmonic resonators in semiconductor nanowires
Eric J. Tervo, Michael E. Gustafson, Zhuomin M. Zhang +2
Photons typically do not contribute to thermal transport within a solid due to their low energy density and tendency to be quickly absorbed. We propose a practical material system…
Validity of kinetic theory for radiative heat transfer in nanoparticle chains
Eric J. Tervo, Baratunde A. Cola, Zhuomin M. Zhang
In chains of closely-spaced nanoparticles supporting surface polaritons, near-field electromagnetic coupling leads to collective effects and super-Planckian thermal radiation excha…
