Metallic nano-particles for trapping light
We study metallic nano-particles for light trapping by investigating the optical absorption efficiency of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film with and without metallic nano-particles on its top. The size and shape of these nano-particles are investigated as to their roles of light trapping: scattering light to the absorption medium and converting light to surface plasmons. The optical ...
متن کاملLight Management with Nanostructures for Optoelectronic Devices.
Light management is of paramount importance to improve the performance of optoelectronic devices including photodetectors, solar cells, and light-emitting diodes. Extensive studies have shown that the efficiency of these optoelectronic devices largely depends on the device structural design. In the case of solar cells, three-dimensional (3-D) nanostructures can remarkably improve device energy ...
متن کاملMicropower Energy Harvesting for Inear Devices
This research aims to provide a unique perspective on energy harvesting from ear canal dynamic motion that can be used to power electronic in-ear devices. Two micro-power generators are presented: one of them has a miniature hydro-electromagnetic core and another one is composed of a micro piezo film sheet in shape of a ring. The experimental results will show that 1.2μW and 0.2μW could be succ...
متن کاملProlonged energy harvesting for ingestible devices
Ingestible electronics have revolutionized the standard of care for a variety of health conditions. Extending the capacity and safety of these devices, and reducing the costs of powering them, could enable broad deployment of prolonged monitoring systems for patients. Although prior biocompatible power harvesting systems for in vivo use have demonstrated short minute-long bursts of power from t...
متن کاملConstruction of kinetic domains in energy trapping processes and application to a photosynthetic light harvesting complex
We develop a formulation allowing construction of various kinetic domains from a master equation for population transfer dynamics and enabling calculation of the time scales of transition between such domains. In this way, a complicated network of energy transfer steps can be simplified to a series of sequential kinetic transitions over the kinetic domains. We illustrate the advantage of this f...
