Towards Photocurrent Production By Gold Nanoarrays with Self-Assembled Monolayer Coatings

This thesis proposes to use optical rectennae (rectifying antennae) for generating electricity by harvesting solar energy. Rectennae have theoretical efficiency over 90%, well above that of current photovoltaic devices. They could be built by arraying nano- antennae combined with a self-assembled mo...
