[BNC-all] NT-TEC Seminar featuring Prof. Zubin Jacob, TODAY

[Anthrop, Heather L]

Nanoscale Thermal/Thermoelectric Energy Conversion (NT-TEC) Seminar

​

Speaker: Prof. Zubin Jacob

Topic: High temperature plasma frequency engineering for thermal energy conversion

Date: Thursday, March 10 2016

Time: 12-1pm

Location: Birck 1001



Abstract.
We will discuss our work on control of thermal radiation using nanomaterials. We will consider the interesting regime which occurs when the peak of blackbody emission coincides with the plasma frequency of metals. The resulting unique thermal emission lineshape is useful for thermophotovoltaic emitters and for enhancing near-field radiative heat transfer.
