A quantum-dot heat engine operating close to the thermodynamic efficiency limits
Martin Josefsson, Artis Svilans, Adam M. Burke +5
Cyclical heat engines are a paradigm of classical thermodynamics, but are impractical for miniaturization because they rely on moving parts. A more recent concept is particle-excha…
Thermoelectric power factor limit of a 1D nanowire
I-Ju Chen, Adam Burke, Artis Svilans +2
In the past decade, there has been significant interest in the potentially advantageous thermoelectric properties of one-dimensional (1D) nanowires, but it has been challenging to…
Single-nanowire, low-bandgap hot carrier solar cells with tunable open-circuit voltage
Steven Limpert, Adam Burke, I-Ju Chen +8
Compared to traditional pn-junction photovoltaics, hot carrier solar cells offer potentially higher efficiency by extracting work from the kinetic energy of photogenerated "hot car…
