Performances of far and near-field thermophotonic refrigeration devices from the detailed-balance approach
Thomas Châtelet, Julien Legendre, Olivier Merchiers +1
We study a near-field thermophotonic (NF-TPX) refrigerating device, consisting of a lightemitting diode and a photovoltaic cell in close proximity. Calculations are performed in th…

Operating conditions and thermodynamic bounds of dual radiative heat engines
Julien Legendre, Pierre-Olivier Chapuis
We propose a unified description of dual radiative heat engines (RHEs), consisting of two facing optoelectronic components (diodes) and capable of generating electrical power from…
