Thermophotovoltaics moving to applications... time.com/collection/bes…

Join us this week at the MRS Spring meeting in Boston, in session SF05 on 'Infrared Materials and Devices for Thermal Radiation'😃!

Our Editorial closing the Special Topic collection on 'Thermal radiation at nanoscale and applications' in Applied Physics Letters is now out! doi.org/10.1063/5.0186…

Happy to share that Julien Legendre brilliantly defended his PhD work last Wednesday. Congrats Julien! 👨‍🎓

Our paper on the investigation of a suspended nanowire in the #SThM embbeded in an SEM is now out in Small, solving some #SThM issues and observing elastic properties. Thanks Jose, Séverine and colleagues! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

THERMINIC 2024 will be held in Toulouse, FR on September 25-27. Deadline for abstract submission is on April 5, 2024. More information on the website: therminic2024.eu

The 15th World Conference on Thermophotovoltaic Generation of Electricity (TPV-15) will be held in Madrid (Spain), on October 1-3, 2024. Please take a look at last year’s website for an example of sessions and topics: tpv-14.org. More information to come soon.

There are options for funding visits by colleagues at CETHIL in the frame of LabEx iMUST. Let me know if interested! 😉

New manuscript by Julien on the achievable performances of dual radiative heat engines (single ones include PV/TPV cells, LED, etc.) See arxiv.org/pdf/2402.07527… ☺️

The paper on optimization of (far-field ) #thermophotovoltaic emitter-cell system and the analysis in light of published experimental data just appeared in Journal of Photonics for Energy. Thanks, Basile and Rodolphe! doi.org/10.1117/1.JPE.…
