Spatial and doping effects on radiative recombination in thin-film near-field photonic energy converters
Dudong Feng, Shannon K. Yee, Zhuomin M. Zhang
Modeling radiative recombination is crucial to the analysis of photonic energy converters. In this work, a local radiative recombination coefficient is defined and derived based on…
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…
Improved performance of a near-field thermophotovoltaic system by a back gapped reflector
Dudong Feng, Shannon K. Yee, Zhuomin M. Zhang
Various spectral control techniques can be applied to improve the performance of a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system. For example, a back surface reflector (BSR) can improve the perf…
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…
