报告摘要: 

      In this talk, we will describe the design, modeling, and measurement results of using metallic two-dimensional photonic crystals in a thermophotovotlaic (TPV) system to realize spectral control. In a high temperature TPV system, the fuel (combustion, solar or radioisotope) will heat the emitter to incadescence and a low bandgap thermophotovoltaic cell will be used to convert the radiation into electricity. One effective way to improve the efficiency of a TPV system is to use spectral control, so that high energy photons above the cell bandgap are emitted to produce more electrical power while low energy photons in far infrared are suppressed to reduce waste heat. 

     We will specially demonstrate a radioisotope prototype system by comparing the system performance using the metastructured photonic crystal and a flat metal emitter, and demonstrate the applicability of these devices in futuer extrasolar spacecrafts.


报告人简介:王夏娃博士毕业于麻省理工学院的电子工程系,分别获得学士学位(2010年)、硕士学位(2012年)与博士学位(2017年),于2018年至2020年在清华大学微电子所担任博士后研究员。目前,王博士任昆山杜克大学材料系助理教授。王博士主要研究用于深空探测的放射性同位素电池的热光电系统,为下一代的深空探测以及行星车提供电源动力。这项研究在其博士期间由美国能源部(Department of Energy)支持,通过调整具有微纳结构的高温发射器的发射光谱,提高同位素电源由核能到电能的转化效率。她的其他研究还包含硅光子,集成电路和微纳加工技术。
