Hot Electrons and Hot Plasmons for Photovoltaics
Hot Electrons and Hot Plasmons for Photovoltaics David J. Norris Optical Materials Engineering Laboratory, ETH Zürich We will discuss two recently observed phenomena with implications for photovoltaic devices. First, it is well known that conventional silicon solar cells lose a significant fraction of their absorbed energy when electrons that are excited high into the conduction band cool to th...
متن کاملPredictions of a Cold + Hot
Cold + Hot Dark Matter (CHDM) = 1 cosmological models require a total neutrino mass 5 eV. Because recent data support the ! oscillation explanation of the cosmic ray deecit, which requires that m() m(), this suggests that m() m() 2:4 eV. The linear calculations and N-body simulation reported here indicate that an = 1 CHDM model with two 2.4 eV neutrinos (designated C 2 DM) agrees remarkably wel...
متن کاملPhase Relaxation of Electrons in Disordered Conductors
Conduction electrons in disordered metals and heavily doped semiconductors at low temperatures preserve their phase coherence for a long time: phase relaxation time τ ϕ can be orders of magnitude longer than the momentum relaxation time. The large difference in these time scales gives rise to well known effects of weak localization, such as anomalous magnetoresis-tance. Among other interesting ...
متن کاملOf Decoherent Electrons and Disordered Conductors
Electron decoherence at low temperatures is important for the proper understanding of the metallic ground state, usually studied within the framework of Fermi liquid theory. It is also fundamental to various insulating transitions in low-dimensional disordered conductors, such as Anderson localization, which similar to the Fermi liquid theory relies on a vanishing decoherence rate at zero tempe...
متن کاملQuantum thermal conductance of electrons in a one-dimensional wire.
We use an electron thermometer to measure the temperature rise of approximately 2 x 10(5) electrons in a two-dimensional box, due to heat flow into the box through a ballistic one-dimensional (1D) constriction. Using a simple model we deduce the thermal conductance kappa(Vg) of the 1D constriction, which we compare to its electrical conductance characteristics; for the first four 1D subbands th...
