We report the fabrication and characterization of segmented element power generator modules of 254 thermoelectric elements. The element is 1 mm × 1 mm in area, which consists of 300 μm thickness Bi2Te3 and 50 μm thickness ErAs:(InGaAs)1-x(InAlAs)x, so that each segment can work at different temperature ranges. Erbium arsenide metallic nanoparticles are incorporated to create scattering centers ...
متن کاملHybrid strategies and technologies for full spectrum solar conversion
Harvesting the full spectrum of sunlight using a hybrid approach offers the potential for higher efficiencies, lower power production costs, and increased power grid compatibility than any single technology by itself. In this article, the base technologies for converting sunlight into electricity, including photovoltaics and solar thermal approaches are discussed. Then feasible strategies for c...
متن کاملPOWER PERFORMANCE OF PNP InAlAs/InGaAs HBTs
Recently, small-signal microwave performance has been reported for PNP InAlAs/InGaAs HBTs [1, 2]. While power performance of PNP AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs has been demonstrated [3], nothing has been reported on power performance of PNP HBTs in the InP material system. In this work, InAlAs/InGaAs PNP HBTs were fabricated and subsequently characterized under large signal conditions at X-band to determine ...
متن کاملInGaAs/InAlAs Single Photon Avalanche Diode at 1550 nm
Single photon detectors sensitive to near-infrared (NIR) wavelength light are used in an increasing number of applications, such as quantum key distribution, laser detection and ranging, and integrated circuit analysis. There are many types of NIR single photon detectors, e.g. photomultiplier tube, superconducting single photon detector and single photon avalanche diode (SPAD). However, the SPA...
