We present an optical rectenna by engineering a rectifying diode at the interface between a
metal probe of an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a single wall carbon nanotube …

The quest to harvest untapped renewable infrared energy sources has led to significant
research effort in design, fabrication and optimization of a self-biased rectenna that can …

Optical rectennas extend the electromagnetic wave rectification process into the visible
regime and provide a route toward high‐performance photodetection and energy …

The optical rectenna is a device that converts the optical range of electromagnetic radiations
to a direct current. Optical antennas, as for the radio frequency (RF) antennas, require an …

This work presents the design, fabrication, and measured results of a fully integrated
miniature rectenna using a novel tunnel diode known as the Asymmetrical Spacer Layer …

Light has dual nature (particle and wave). Solar PV technology exploits particle nature of
light and converts light to electricity by charge separation method. The lower efficiency of PV …

Using density functional theory in combination with Green's functional formalism, we study
