Energy Dissipation in Small Clusters: Direct Photoemission, Dissociation, and Thermionic Emission.
The competition between electron emission and unimolecular dissociation following the absorption of a single photon is studied for small clusters of various elements. Electron emission results from either direct photoemission, observed as a series of peaks in the spectrum, or thermionic emission, giving rise to a continuous background. Depending on the energetics involved, thermionic emission i...

متن کاملThermionic and Photo-Excited Electron Emission for Energy-Conversion Processes
*Correspondence: Timothy S. Fisher , Birck Nanotechnology Center, 1205 West State Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA e-mail: [email protected] This article describes advances in thermionic and photo-emission materials and applications dating back to the work on thermionic emission by Guthrie (1873) and the photoelectric effect by Hertz (1893). Thermionic emission has been employed for elec...
متن کاملSolar energy conversion with photon-enhanced thermionic emission
Photon-enhanced thermionic emission (PETE) converts sunlight to electricity with the combined photonic and thermal excitation of charge carriers in a semiconductor, leading to electron emission over a vacuum gap. Theoretical analyses predict conversion efficiency that can match, or even exceed, the efficiency of traditional solar thermal and photovoltaic converters. Several materials have been ...
متن کاملSolid-state Photon Enhanced Thermionic Emission for Solar Energy Conversion
Global climate imperatives require a worldwide shift away from greenhouse gasemitting activities such as fossil fuel combustion. Concentrated solar thermal installations are particularly appealing as they can store a fraction of their power in the form of heat to provide baseload power, yet current conversion efficiencies prevent them from reaching competitive market prices. One extremely promi...
