The first decade of the 21st-century has seen a rapid development in infrared photodetector
technology. At the end of the last millennium there were two dominant IR systems, InSb-and …

We report a metamaterial design for a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) emitter. TPVs are similar to
photovoltaic solar cells, but they convert heat to electricity instead of sunlight. The focus of …

We investigate the surface morphologies of two series of homoepitaxial GaSb (100) thin
films grown on GaSb (100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy in a Veeco GENxplor …

We present gallium antimonide (GaSb) p–i–n photodiodes for use as thermophotovoltaic
(TPV) cells grown on gallium arsenide (100) substrates using the interfacial misfit array …

A technology that can be used in place of, or in addition to, rectennas is thermophotovoltaics
(TPVs). The ultimate function of TPVs, like that of the rectenna, is the conversion of …

Applying thermophotovoltaics (TPV) to present energy production technologies allows us to
increase energy output while utilizing existing infrastructure by reclaiming the heat lost …

Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells are semiconductor devices which convert radiated heat
directly into electricity. This work investigates extending the operational wavelength of such …

At present, the state of the art thermophotovoltaic diode material is GaSb, with a bandgap of
0.7 eV corresponding to source temperatures greater than 1000° C. We investigate …

Split spectrum photovoltaics, where incident light is divided onto multiple cells on the basis
of wavelength, are an exciting recent development in the solar energy field. This technology …

Thermophotovoltaics (TPVs) have attracted interest due to their ability to harvest infrared
radiation and produce usable energy. The focus of this research is the characterization of …
