For a TPV system to work efficiently, the emission spectrum of its emitter must match the energy bandgap (Eg) of its TPV cell. An ideal selective emitter emits in-band photons, i.e., photons with energy, E > Eg (thus λ 1.6 µm. Tungsten (W), with high emissivity in the visible and near infrared region is a suitable TPV emitter. Metamaterial structures consisting of W (base) and SiO2 (spacer) were also shown to be stable at high temperatures. In this work, a W-SiO2-W nano-patterned selective emitter is proposed by performing a finitedifference time-domain analysis. Grid search optimization is used to with an objective function constructed to maximize the average emissivity up to the cut-off wavelength of quantum efficiency of GaSb, and to minimize the emissivity after the bandgap of GaSb. The designed emitter has an average emissivity of 98.2% between 1.2-1.6 µm. At 1700 K, the ratio of in-band radiation to the total radiation emitted is calculated to be 72.3%. At the same temperature, this ratio is 27.9% for a standard SiC emitter.

© 2018 Univelt Inc. All rights reserved.JAXA’s ERG (Exploration of Energization and Radiation in Geospace) Spacecraft, which is nicknamed Arase, was launched on 20 December 2016. Arase is a spin-stabilized and Sun-oriented spacecraft. Its mission is exploring how relativistic electrons in the radiation belts are generated during space storms. Two different on-ground attitude determination algorithms have been designed for the mission: a conventional straightforward algorithm that inherits from old missions ...

All rights reserved.This study presents a peridynamic (PD) model of a graphene layer with tension and bending moduli comparable with atomistic simulations as well as experimental findings. After determining the PD in-plane and interlayer bond constants, the PD model is verified against a molecular dynamic simulation of wrinkling in a graphene layer suspended over a trench. Also, the numerical results demonstrate the modeling of a graphene...
A Study on urban political discourses: entrepreneurial urbanism and opposition in the case of Basmane çukuru in İzmir
Çalıkoğlu, Gökçe; Bilsel, F. Cana.; Department of Architecture (2019)
Local authorities, real estate developers, investors, professional chambers, non-governmental organizations and the general public. These are the leading ‘urban actors’ who play specific roles in the (re)production of today’s urban environments. Especially in the processes that involve contradictory urban development initiatives, the conflicting discourses of the actors and their effects on the course of the events become apparent. In the current urban atmosphere where the adopted urban policies aimed at in...
