Near-field radiative transfer (NFRT) refers to the energy transfer mechanism which takes place between media separated by distances comparable to or much smaller than the dominant wavelength of emission. NFRT is due to the contribution of evanescent waves and coherent nature of the energy transfer within nano-gaps, and can exceed Planck's blackbody limit. As researchers further investigate this phenomenon and start fabrication of custom-made platforms, advances in utilization of NFRT in energy harvesting applications move forward day by day. In designing and manufacturing such harvesting devices, chemical and physical properties of surfaces and wafers are important for development of effective solutions. In this work, we compare several III-V group compound semiconductor wafers (mainly GaAs, InSb, and InP) from fabrication point of view, in order to explore their possible use in future devices. The results presented here show that the type of dopant, wafer temperature, and gap size are very important factors as they affect the NFRT rates. GaAs, InSb, and InP wafers significantly enhance the near-field fluxes beyond the blackbody rates, and n-type InSb yields to the highest enhancement. For GaAs, p-type yielded a higher radiative flux compared to n-type GaAs, as oppose to n-type InSb outperforming its p-type and undoped counterparts. Furthermore, the possible use of n-InSb as the TPV cell at 550K is discussed for effective energy harvesting. These findings can be useful for determination of the proper material type for emitting and non-emitting NFRT-based energy harvesting devices.

Spatial stabilization of Townsend and glow discharges with a semiconducting cathode
Salamov, BG; Ellialtioglu, S; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Lebedeva, NN; Patriskii, LG (IOP Publishing, 1996-03-14)
The physical processes determining the functions of an ionization system and especially the discharge stabilization by the distributed resistance of a semiconducting cathode in such a system are studied. The current-voltage (I-U) characteristics of the system with a semiconducting GaAs cathode are obtained experimentally as functions of the gap pressure P (16-760 Torr) and inter-electrode distance d (10 mu m to 5 mm), which are varied for the first time over very wide ranges. The experiments showed that the...
Excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties of small quantum dots
KARABULUT, İBRAHİM; Safak, H.; Tomak, Mehmet (IOP Publishing, 2008-08-07)
The excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties of small quantum dots with a semiparabolic confining potential are studied under the density matrix formalism. First, within the framework of the strong confinement approximation, we present the excitonic states and then calculate the excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties, such as second harmonic generation, third harmonic generation, nonlinear absorption coefficient and refractive index changes. We find the explicit analytical expres...
Optoelectronic and electrical properties of TlGaS2 single crystal
Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2005-10-01)
The optoelectronic and electrical properties of TIGaS2 single crystals have been investigated by means of room temperature transmittance and reflectance spectral analysis, Hall coefficient, dark electrical resistivity and photocurrent measurements in the temperature range of 200-350 K. The optical data have revealed an indirect and direct allowed transition band gaps of 2.45 and 2.51 eV, an oscillator and dispersion energy of 5.04 and 26.45 eV, respectively, a static dielectric constant of 6.25 and static r...
Radiative gas-dynamic model of a continuous optical discharge in a gravitational field: quasi-optical approximation
Rafatov, İsmail (IOP Publishing, 2009-08-07)
We consider a continuous optical discharge (COD) sustained by a vertically directed weakly focused CO(2) laser beam, in a gravitational field. We used a full two-dimensional radiative gas-dynamic numerical model for the COD, which uses realistic quasi optics and takes refraction of the laser radiation in the plasma properly into account in the description of the laser beam propagation. The model is applied to calculate the parameters of the COD in a converging CO(2) laser beam in free air atmosphere as a fu...
Nonlinear Seebeck and Peltier effects in quantum point contacts
Çipiloğlu, Mustafa A; Turgut, Sadi; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2004-09-01)
The charge and entropy currents across a quantum point contact are expanded as a series in powers of the applied bias voltage and the temperature difference. After that, the expansions of the Seebeck voltage in temperature difference and the Peltier heat in current are obtained. With a suitable choice of the average temperature and chemical potential, the lowest order nonlinear term in both cases appear to be of third order. The behavior of the third-order coefficients in both cases are then investigated fo...
