[16p-414-8] Power generation using near-field radiation for energy harvesting and a closing remark
Keywords:Near-field radiation, Thermophotovoltaic generation of electtricity, Spectral control
Thermophotovoltic generation of electricity has been investigated using a GaSb semiconductor and a tungsten emittter. Spectral control of near-field radiation transfer has also been investigated using pillar array structured surfaces.
