Inhibited nonradiative decay at all exciton densities in monolayer semiconductors

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Javey | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Most optoelectronic devices operate at high photocarrier densities, where all semiconductors suffer from enhanced nonradiative recombination. Nonradiative processes proportionately reduce photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY), a performance metric that directly dictates the maximum device efficiency. Although transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers exhibit […]

Quantifying Variability of YSOs in the Mid-IR Over Six Years with NEOWISE

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Wooseok Park, Jeong-Eun Lee, Carlos Contreras Peña, Doug Johnstone, Gregory Herczeg | Summary: Variability in young stellar objects (YSOs) can be caused by various time-dependent phenomena associated with star formation, including accretion rates, geometric changes in the circumstellar disks, stochastic hydromagnetic interactions between stellar surfaces and inner […]

The JCMT Transient Survey: Four Year Summary of Monitoring the Submillimeter Variability of Protostars

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Yong-Hee Lee, Doug Johnstone, Jeong-Eun Lee, Gregory Herczeg, Steve Mairs | Summary: We present the four-year survey results of monthly submillimeter monitoring of eight nearby ($< 500 $pc) star-forming regions by the JCMT Transient Survey. We apply the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram technique to search for and characterize variability […]

Thermodynamics of light management in near-field thermophotovoltaics

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Yablonovitch | First 5 Authors: Georgia T. Papadakis, Meir Orenstein, Eli Yablonovitch, Shanhui Fan, | Summary: We evaluate near-field thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion systems focusing in particular on their open-circuit voltage (Voc). Unlike previous analyses based largely on numerical simulations with fluctuational electrodynamics, here, we develop an analytic model that captures the […]
