A nanoscale photonic thermal transistor for sub-second heat flow switching "Control of #heat_flow is critical for #thermal_logic_devices and #thermal_management and has been explored theoretically. However, experimental progress on active control of heat flow has been limited. Here, we describe a nanoscale radiative thermal transistor that comprises of a hot source and a cold drain (both are ~250 nm-thick silicon nitride membranes), which are analogous to the source and drain electrodes of a transistor. The source and drain are in close proximity to a vanadium oxide (VOx)-based planar gate electrode, whose dielectric properties can be adjusted by changing its temperature. We demonstrate that when the gate is located close ( < ~1 µm) to the source-drain device and undergoes a metal-insulator transition, the radiative heat transfer between the source and drain can be changed by a factor of three. More importantly, our #nanomembrane-based thermal transistor features fast switching times ( ~ 500 ms as opposed to minutes for past three-terminal thermal transistors) due to its small thermal mass. Our experiments are supported by detailed calculations that highlight the mechanism of thermal modulation. We anticipate that the advances reported here will open new opportunities for designing thermal circuits or thermal logic devices for advanced thermal management."

One of my recent works was published in Nature Communications as a first author. In this work, we developed a nanoscale photonic thermal transistor—i.e., a device that controls the flow of photons based on temperature or thermal changes. Our photonic thermal transistor achieves a switching time constant of less than a second (~500 ms), which is ~200 times faster than the fastest reported three-terminal thermal transistors demonstrated to date.

In the past decade, metal-halide perovskites have rapidly progressed as a semiconductor, surpassing silicon in their ability to convert light into electric current since their initial discovery. Simulations on TACC’s Frontera and Lonestar6 supercomputers have revealed surprising vortex structures in quasiparticles of electrons and atoms, called polarons, which contribute to generating electricity from sunlight. This new discovery can help scientists develop new solar cells and LED lighting. This type of lighting is hailed as an eco-friendly, sustainable technology that can reshape the future of illumination. #supercomputers #simulations #illumination #sunlight #quasiparticle #vortex https://lnkd.in/gnvqTjxV

JULY 11, 2024 Two-Dimensional Semiconductor Material Exchange Energy The two-dimensional semiconductor material molybdenum disulfide is filled with electrons (red spheres). The electron-electron interaction causes the spins of all electrons (red arrows) to align in the same direction. The exchange energy required to flip a single electron spin in the ferromagnetic state can be determined by the separation between two specific spectral lines.

he efficiency potential of 44.3% for solar cells is highly significant. It represents a substantial improvement over current commercial solar cell efficiencies, which typically range around 15-22% for silicon cells. Achieving such a high efficiency could dramatically increase the power output from the same surface area, making solar power even more competitive with traditional energy sources.
“A research team has investigated the optical properties of perovskite/perovskite/silicon triple-junction cells and has found these devices may have a practical efficiency potential of 44.3% assuming idealized electrical parameters. These cells may also potentially achieve a fill factor of 90.1%.” [Source: PV Magazine] #solarpv

Interested on how the external quantum efficiency relies on the surface passivation? Check out our recent publication by Qing Yang where the dependency of the external quantum efficiency for different surface passivation levels in front or rear junction cells, as well as different illumination configurations, is highlighted!
Head of Department "Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells and Modules" at IEK5-Photovoltaics, Forschungszentrum Jülich
Here is a new paper from our team. „The impact of interface recombination on the external quantum efficiency of silicon solar cells“ https://lnkd.in/gnT72h_B. It is about the impact of bad interface passivation on the external quantum efficiency. I noticed the difference many years ago when comparing front and rear junction silicon heterojunction solar cell and ask my colleagues to do some simulations. Recently we noticed similar behavior also in Perovskite solar cells, hence decided to get it published. Hopefully it help some of you to interpret your data. :-) #SolarEnergy #Research #SiliconSolarCells #QuantumEfficiency #ForschungszentrumJülich
