Metamaterial Enhanced Near-Field Thermophotovoltaic Energy Conversion
abstract: It is well known that radiative heat transfer rate can exceed that between two blackbodies by several orders of magnitude due to the coupling of evanescent waves. One promising application of near-field thermal radiation is thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices, which convert thermal energy to...
