A Novel Near-field Photonic Thermal Diode with hBN and InSb
Dudong Feng, Shannon K. Yee, Zhuomin M. Zhang
Similar to the diode in electronics, a thermal diode is a two-terminal device that allows heat to transfer easier in one direction (forward bias) than in the opposite direction (re…

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…
